The Criticism Of Consumerism And Edification Of Current Society In How Much Is Enough

The emergence of consumerism is not out of thin air.It is produced in the context of the era of the arrival of large industrial production,the cultural background promoted by commercial culture,and the political background guided by government policies.Its main connotation: consumption is not to meet the actual needs,but to satisfy the consumption desires that are constantly being manufactured and stimulated,to pursue the infinite amount of material possession or the value concept of consumption as a happy life and all the meaning of life.Behavioral phenomena under the control of ideas.The essence of this consumption concept and behavioral phenomenon is a tool consciousness under the control of capitalism,serving capital,a capitalized social ideology,and then changing the existence of ideas as reality.From then on,resources are constantly wasted.The environment is constantly being destroyed.Obviously,consumerism is not overwhelming from the beginning.It has its own process of development and evolution.It sprouted in the United States,developed and universally existed in the developed countries of the West,but did not stop in the developed countries of the West,with economic globalization.The acceleration of the process has also begun to affect developing countries including China.Consumerism is a kind of alienation consumption.We should resist,criticize and transcend consumerism.For this reason,we should first understand the various manifestations of consumerism,such as perceptual consumption,wasteful consumption,luxury consumption,etc.,and understand the basic characteristics of consumerism.Such as the one-sided consumption of material consumption,the specialization of symbolic consumption,the popularization of high-end consumption,etc.,and understand the main misunderstandings of consumerism: equating people's desires with needs;people's meaning is consumption,and recession without consumption.The main manifestations and basic characteristics of the above consumption,there are several misunderstandings that tell us that consumerism wastes natural resources and destroys the ecological balance,and will eventually destroy the earth's homeland and destroy humanity itself.We should not sit idly by and should act to break the myth of recession without consumption and cultivate reasonable consumer demand to completely deconstruct consumerism.As mentioned above,with the acceleration of the process of economicglobalization,consumerism has also spread to China,unconsciously changing people's lifestyles and values,people have quietly become "consumers",and the concept of "consumers" That is: human consumption is born,and only in consumption can you feel the meaning of life.Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up,China's economic development has been fruitful,and some people have taken the lead in becoming rich,which is also an important reason for becoming a "consumer."
