Causes of consumerism

 

• The need of people to achieve a certain social status.
• The various fashion trends as part of the cultural expression of society.
• Political systems that do not encourage responsible and conscious consumption.
• The production of products of low quality and short durability
• The facilities that we offer certain disposable products, whose use is immediate and then go to
• the garbage and the waste can remain (as in the case of plastics) for hundreds of years polluting
• The planned obsolescence of many products, especially technological ones
• The culture of novelty and innovation, which rewards us socially and emotionally only if we have the latest model of a product or service
