Thank you so much. Actually, the culture of consumerism is increasing day by day because of the digitalization of the world. Online shopping is very available at our doorsteps every day, and shopping outside is also going on and available here and there. Yes, many people today keep buying things they do not need. Yes, of course, because they think that due to their interaction, they feel enthusiastic and believe that this is an innovative product they can use or try using. They think that they can change their habits. I believe the benefits of a consumer society outweigh the disadvantages because the benefits are the main drivers of the society. If consumers don't use the products, the consumer benefits, and the culture of consumerism will not grow. It is possible to avoid the culture of consumerism through various means, but it requires conscious effort and awareness. People need to recognize their needs versus wants and make informed choices about their purchases. This awareness can help mitigate the effects of consumerism and promote a more sustainable lifestyle.
