What is a consumer society?
A consumer is a person who buys things, and a
consumer society is a society that encourages people to
buy and use goods. Some people think that a consumer
society provides people with better lives. People in
consumer societies tend to live more comfortably.
They eat a wider variety of food. They go to restaurants
more often. They also buy a lot of products, maybe
more than they need. Products such as TVs, cell phones,
and computers used to be luxuries. Today people can
buy these things more easily than ever before. The
market for these goods is growing faster all the time.
Consumer societies encourage people to buy bigger
and better products. For example, “smarter” phones
come out every year. In a consumer society, people are
often buying newer and more advanced products. This
creates a lot of waste. Nowadays, many people are
thinking more seriously about the effects of consumer
societies on the environment, and they are trying to
become more responsible consumers.
