Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The consumism is not something new. However, in the modern world, it has becoming something abstract and constant in our daily life. This can be explained by the power of the technology. It has given tools to boost the advertisiments power of persuation. Also, the fact that the fastpaced world environment has affecting people's mental health. Thus, I strongly agree that nowadays people consume goods because they are lead to that, neither because they really need it nor wanted.
