04 | Consume, Consumer, Consumerism
It is undeniable that, these days, the world completely becomes the world of consumerism. People consume beyond their necessity which never seems to be satisfied. Money plays such a big important part in our everyday lives which people can’t live without. Shopping becomes a popular activity for many families which is considered as a relaxation. Caused by the capitalism, this consumerism is widely spread all over the world.
If you ask me, media has a big effect on consumer behavior toward the consumption. It shapes people ideas subconsciously about what they should buy and what they shouldn’t. The children and teenagers are completely the victims since their abilities to consider are not strong enough and can be guided easily. For them, TV is their God who they worship and believe.
It may be true that the censorship some contents but not all. Leaving the children with TV without advisory or someone to guide is dangerous. Thus, it the absolute responsibility of the parents to guide their child not the stream of consumerism nor the TV.
