We have been talking about the consumer society and its effects on people, specially on teenagers. The media and the fashion industry are succeding in getting their messages to the people.
In class we have come to some interesting conclusions:
- People are evaluated by what they have, wear and look like;
- The Media make people buy what they don't need;
- The media take people to a world of fantasy and glamour;
- It's a way to escape from the monotony of everyday life;
- There's an obsession with material possessions and body image;
- Girls become anorectic in order to fit into the new patterns of beauty.
- etc ...
And you? What do you think of the consumer society?
