about consuming

Hi,

I agree about your opinions on consuming, but in my concernliving as consumers doesn't only mean to buy much more things we don't really need. The consumer society impel us to construct our identities as a consumers. I consum, therefore I'm. Consuming is the core of our way of living and being.
Just try to imagine how our grandparents lived on. They had or buyed less things, of course, but they didn't think as consumers.
Did you know Zygmunt Bauman? He's a sociologist who has deeply studied the consumer society. I recommend you the book Vida de consum.

see you
