#people #items #cars #brands #development
In modern society, an increasing
number
 of
individuals
 are wanting to own luxurious
items
such
 as cars, clothing, and other
items
 that are produced by famous brands.
Such
phenomenon
 is increasing all over the globe and producing a negative
development
. In my personal opinion,
such
phenomenon
 is a negative
development
 and will
further
 discuss reasons in
this
 essay.
First
 and foremost, luxurious
items
 are becoming a status of wealth amongst rich
individuals
 and the exposure
such
 celebrities are getting on television and social media is increasing. As
such
 luxurious
items
 are becoming a symbol of wealth and success, more everyday
individuals
 who are financially struggling are opting for loans from banks to disguise their true identity.
As a result
, these
individuals
 are financially struggling.
Thus
,
such
phenomenon
 is having a negative
development
 on
individuals
.
In addition
 to
this
, as the
number
 of
individuals
 wanting to own luxurious
items
 from famous brands is growing, it's going to increase the mental problems. To illustrate
this
 point, people do not like being behind on the latest trends as it makes them feel like they don't belong in certain groups.
As a result
, those
individuals
 who are not able to afford these luxury
items
 are going to feel worthless and like they don't fit in.
Such
 problems will lead to a growing
number
 of mental illnesses
such
 as depression and to suicide in extreme cases. To conclude, as the
number
 of celebrities with luxury
items
 from famous brands increase, an increasing
number
 of
individuals
 wanting to own luxury
items
 will simultaneously increase.
This
 in return will produce a negative outcome.
Therefore
, I strongly agree that
such
 a
phenomenon
 is producing a negative
development
.
