Honestly, I
consider myself a simple person and don't a consumer's person. There isn't
denying that today, we live in a world steeped in capitalism and this makes us
people who need to consume in an unbalanced way, going beyond the basic needs.
However, I
don't follow this trend. I know very well manage my money, I buy what I need
and I am a very thrifty. Usually I buy in business near my home. I also go to
the mall or supermarkets but this I don't constantly.
Personally,
I respect the marketing and advertising but I disagree with that try to impose
things or force to the people to think in a certain way. An example of
marketing and advertising are cigarettes and alcohol, with respect to these
issues I disagree because don't point to a healthy life. I disagree with that
will spread the consumption of these elements that threaten the lives of
people, I think it would be optimal to disseminate campaigns in contrary of
cigar and alcohol.
As I
mentioned earlier, I am not a consumer and I will not pretend to be never . I
know what I have and what I can spend, therefore, the consumerism don't go with
me.
I think
this consumerism has been established by the capitalist economic system, and
that through marketing and advertising, are induce people to act and think in a
certain way. Finally, I think the only way to end consumerism is to reform the
economic system. Is necessary a good economy for all the people !!!
I'm a very thrifty person as well!!!
