The popularation of consumerism culture makes consumption not intend to meet the actual needs, but in the constant pursuit of desires which being created and stimulated up. Western values reconstruct the younger generation's identity of "core zone" through subtle forms in the daily life and marginalize the identity of traditional Chinese.

In the wave of modernity, people become "consumer goods" itself, consumption is no longer committed to meet basic life needs or enhance the mentality, but focusing on the access of sensory stimulation and enjoyment, and pursuiting the pleasure and indulgence brought by consumption. This indulgence which attempting to get rid of the constraints of instrumental rationality on people's freedom, but make it to the other extreme,sensitive.Sensitive consumption causes the loss of spiritual home, makes college students in the state of no root; causes human one-dimensional, makes college students lose their criticism ability; results in excessive pursuit of self, makes students'sense of moral responsibility weaken;causes the loss of individuality, makes college students un-elite.
