killamch89 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I've noticed a lot of conversations lately about consumerism, and it got me wondering - are people too focused on material possessions these days? It feels like social media constantly pushes the latest trends, products, and lifestyles, and it seems like people are placing more value on stuff than on experiences or relationships. Do you think our society is becoming too materialistic? Or is this just a normal part of modern life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Yeah. People are too enamoured with celebrities and looking at the latest, usually pointless crap on X, Facebook, and so on. I don't see the fascination with the drama and privacy invasion that comes with being a famous person, since these celebrities keep their fans at a distance anyway. Even if you get to be an extra or something in a film, you're there to work. Not to chat to the stars. At the end of the day, they are good at what they do. But they're just people with a higher profile, due to their fame. But they're just people all the same. So teenagers obsessing over fancying members of boy bands or girl groups, movie stars and all this hocus pocus, is sad. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'm not as famous as any of those celebrities per say but I'm fairly well known in my country and a lot of times, I have to change up what I'm wearing so that most people don't recognize me.
