The consumerism chapter of this book shows that consuming is the lifestyle that seems logical to people for what someone has shows what their lifestyle is. Everything that is consumed eventually becomes trash. The growth of the human population is destroying our ecosystem. It is socially constructed in the sense that consumption is something that is taught rather than being born with the desire to consume products on a massive scale. Manipulation and hegemony are how we get into consumerism.
Joshua Shavel Consumer Nation 10/5/17 How Consumerism Changed America America is often described as a nation of consumers. This description usually has a negative tone, implying that Americans are materialistic, and in comparison to the majority of other countries, this is true. Many people accuse Americans of having a level of consumption that is actually wasteful in a lot of ways. Finding the difference between “needs” and “wants” is difficult in a consumer nation, where options are almost limitless. Consumerism can also bring about positive change, though, and this is especially true in the United States.
The Chinese civilization from 100 C.E. to 600 C.E. rose as one of the major unified empires. While this society grew, there were aspects of culture and politics stayed the same but many changes also occurred. As the empire developed, family units and social classes remained stagnant. Despite these continuities, changes such as the popularity of Buddhism within society due to Indian missionaries and a shift in political rule occurred. During the time period 100 C.E. to 600 C.E. the family unit system remained intact despite the intellectual advances.
Nevertheless, the interviewees frown upon being labelled as someone that values luxury over reasonable spending. Hence, they expressed their emphasis on the importance of needs over wants, and that practicality should triumph over extravagance.

Also, population growth marked a basic point for mass production. In previous centuries, people’s need was limited, for their number was not as huge as modern world; the population growth of 20th century has been explosive as human number has been quadrupled. Modern world is better than previous eras in the world history because of changing in standard of life by having cheaper products, and getting better job opportunely. According to Churchill, public can get what they want with cheaper price and even with better qualities.
Yack defines it as “focusing our attention on what it means to live with the consequences of distinctly modern ideas and practices” (Yack 1997:26). This definition of the modern age doesn’t have the clear starting point of the temporal definition, but it gives a sense of the importance of the types of ideas and practices that make the modern age important. These definitions of the modern age are also problematic, as was the term modernity. For while the modern age may be delineated as occurring after a specific date, not all things that happen after that date are substantively modern.
Throughout history, consumerism has been defined and changed by aspects such as war, changes in work and production, and government policies. Americans have been able to consume more luxuries over time and have had more control over the way the economy progress and even when to call it to a halt. Consumerism has benefitted American citizens by putting money back into their pockets through policies and procedures such as the New Deal and the increase in union power. Workers’ wages have increased due to consumer and their unions have become more powerful over time. Consumerism is not a thing of the past, but rather a favorable advantage of the future that has allowed America to progress and benefitted American

The concept of consumerism was first brought to my awareness in First Year Writing. I admit, before this intro course, I was indeed ignorant of the negative impacts that consumption had on society. FYS opened my mind to the dangers of over-consumption, and more importantly, helped me see beyond what meets the eye. Take for example, Disney, a seemingly innocent corporation, a company’s whose name is practically synonymous with the notion of childhood innocence. Upon initial judgement, one would assume that Disney is merely harmless family entertainment.
In the 21st century, we consume so frequently that we do not take notice; consumerism consumes us. Consumerism is an integral

Consumerism intrudes with the workings of society by overthrowing the standard judgment wish for an adequate supply of life 's necessities, a steady family and solid associations with a manufactured continuous journey for things and the purchasing power with little respect for the genuine utility of the item purchased. In today’s World World, there is a high level of consumption which has been described as a major threat on sustainability. Even though consumerism has positive effects like motivating people to work harder in order to improve their social status and well being, it has adverse effects on the environment and the social aspect of life.

Sustainablity, on the other hand, according to the ‘brudtland report’ was broadly defined as Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
