The idea of consumerism, that we need what we do not have, is put into our minds by media and various forms of advertisement. More fashion! More more more!
Some women will go to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Females can buy into consumerism when they are convinced that new make-up products will make them look better than ever. When standing by one of these make-up counters I was shocked to hear the total of one lady's purchase.
Expensive cars can often be seen as conspicuous consumption. It can be a way for people to show off their wealth, or in some cases for people to pretend they have wealth.
Some people in our society believe that our self-worth is determined by our looks and how sexually attractive we are. That is why people are willing to spend $70 on shoes that supposedly give you a better butt, rather than putting the effort into exercise. The shape-up shoes are the new big thing among our society.
Everyone has different tastes in fashion, music, cinema, and other kinds of culture. This includes cars. While some people prefer to show off in brand new cars, others become consumed with the idea of the classics.
