This is a pattern which also stretches to other fields and countries. In my opinion there are two factors which explain it. Firstly: our society tends to assess people for the things we have. Therefore brands and fashion are really important in order to fix your position in the world.Secondly: We live in the consumer society that means the more we buy the happier we are. Both effects (being someone in the society and being happy) lead us to buy things regardless if we need them or if it is enviromental-friendly. Sat, 05 Mar 2016 11:19:14 -0500
