ESSAY

Name: Camila Olivo Course: 3RD Baccalaureate

Analyze the video: write an essay based either on how human relations have changed or how some peoples greed have reduced other humans to a basic level of tool, is it fair?

To live fully, we must learn to use things and love people, and not love things and use people. John Powell How we can define a life of happiness if the only think that rules or lifes and world is MONEY! , this essay is mainly about people and their life styles maybe now a days we are only machines that works with no soul, using the people for the benefit of ourselves but not thinking that we a person also. The aspect we are going to talk are 3, first one the consumerism, the capitalism and the superiority of the people. This aspects are going to be connected if we see the capitalism is the one that makes us consume and unfortunately the social classes are identify by the count of money or the things we have , this makes us create a bubble of superiority, making a competition of consumerism every time. The strategy of study Im going to use is compare this aspects and the links they have each other that help us to show the relation of the humans beings in the actuality and why we do that.

The sources Im going to use are: https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~waldr20m/classweb/worldpolitics/consumerism.h tml where we can find the increase of the capital that is a consequence of consumerism but this also leads the materialism. Also this source https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~waldr20m/classweb/worldpolitics/capitalism.htm l where we find all about capitalism, how it works, it original and the system. And finally the inequality https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~waldr20m/classweb/worldpolitics/income.html that is the superiority that the people form every day to be in better position. The capitalism is everything, is in everywhere, your house, your car, your company and even you. The increase of circulation of the capital is a direct relation with the consumer spending; however consumerism leads to materialism in fact all born in a necessity. In this time of capitalism the big influence of people is the marketing, the advertisements especially, where the things you dont need can be only things you have in your house. Having the latest products, spend more and more money and nothing of personal importance make you involve in this era of consumerism. The life now is define as born, study, work, buy, consume and die, and this a real fact that we see in our daily life and to make emphasis in the video of The employment , for what we are leaving for? Every work is justified but if involucres the happiness of the person not only for necessity or the good salary you are going to receive. I found this information really interesting to make a comparison 1 American consumes as much total energy output as 2 Japanese, 6 Mexicans, 13 Chinese, 31 Indians, 128 Bangladeshis, 307 Tanzanians, or 370 Ethiopians. So the best form to define consumes is going to the facts. Capitalism also can cause corruption, economy could fail in a second, the individualism that is the point we are going to talk later with the competitiveness and consumerism obviously.

The effects of the capitalism were define as progression but now are only accumulation of money as the greatest achievement the human can have. People with more power reach a point that that they feel that they dont have enough. The consumer mentality is in us but this can cause several of bad things, not only the fact that we buy constantly and things that are necessaries but the increases of illegal activity, the consumerism goes that far that even they need to steal to survive. This consumerism make us believe that a person is value for what we have not what we are, its like in the market a product is only can be value with the brand not with the quality of it. And this ideology also is transmitting to the children and even they discriminate their friends because they dont use several products or special brands. In front of the constant demand of capital also need to be sources to obtain it, and here comes the problem the corruption, the crime and the exportation of the resources and the HUMAN. Lets go to the fact of the video, the people that were working for other people no one of them were smiling even they seems to be they were totally automatically that the only target is money, is like impossible to imagine a person that was in the world of consumerism and with a good position lost his style of life, maybe in the last years this person could satisfice his necessity with just enjoying the rest of the life but in this years the rest of the life is just more and more consumerism. The dignity of the human being is an important role, only person with mediocrity could believe that we are better than others only because we have more and this is a totally wrong and ridiculous comparison, sometimes is necessary to change the system that dont make develop correctly the society. So joining these aspects, its difficult to think in a society that search the benefit for the others and not for us, the superiority always is going to be in our daily life and the money is the only think that rules and even if they said

money cant buy the happiness its completely wrong in this world of consumerism. This is completely unfair to use a person as a tool only to satisfice their necessities but like we see in the video and the facts that show as the history this is a big chain where the only exit is the poverty and discrimination. Welcome to the age of the capitalism.
