Affluenza: To Buy or Not To Buy

Influenza: I will buy or buy epidemics prevalent throughout the country. Very contagious, uncontrollable diseases, excessive consumption, symptoms often include mandatory shopping, heavy debt, overwork, rights awareness, obsession with the outside, "having everything", wasting and stressing It is included. This disease is called "wealthy" and comes from the word "rich". Affluenza is expressed as "".

Influenza affects people of all ages and socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. "If modern wealthy researchers start to reject our culture, pay more effort, spend more money and keep buying more, our society will be a future generation I believe that it will start to have a big impact on "(Koplewicz & Williams, 2006, p.1). Since 1950, only Americans have used more resources than anyone who previously lived. Americans consume 20 tons of basic ingredients every year. Americans throw out 7 million cars each year, throw out 2 million PET bottles per hour, throw out enough aluminum cans every year, and produce 6,000 DC-10 aircraft.

In December 2009, I wrote about overactive workplaces. I believe that the roots of an overactive workplace are "pressure, overwork, waste, and debt outbreak" caused by wealthy people ("Stubbornly pursue America's dreams" (Affluenza , Nd). We work for a long time and are still in a crazy state and we are pursuing elusive dollars to buy what we and the family want for our family. And we do it everyday. It's just like a hamster goes around a cage. In "Successful Intelligence" (2005), Robert Holden wrote, "The rise of consumerism has undoubtedly influenced our thought about happiness and success ... we buy , Buy, buy! "We are progressing the way to happiness and success" (pages 110, 111). Buying can temporarily bring short-lived fun, but our previous level of happiness quickly recovers. In other words, we can not buy the way of happiness.

Materialism is also a symptom of this disease we call wealthy. What makes persecution of materialism and leads to prosperity? The simple answer is that marketers use plenty of inevitable consumer purchases. An example of this support is statistical data, stating that by the age of 20 Americans will see an average of 1 million commercials (Spokesman Review, 1997). Is it reasonable to think that someone watches the commercial at half the frequency you think you need to buy or use items? Increase consumer support for my claim of buying more labels and brands instead of quality (77%)
