More and more people want to buy famous brands of clothes, cars and other products. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

#people #brands #clothes #cars #products #development
Increasingly,
people
 have spent more and more money buying famous brands of
goods
 and it has increased
consumption
 worldwide and
this
 behaviour can be dangerous.
Hence
, in my opinion, there are several problems in society
such
 as class division, the increased
consumption
 of material
goods
 , still mental health disorders. Let's talk about it.
Firstly
, according to research about
consumption
 written by the Financial Guide journal, the increased
consumption
 of material
goods
, actually famous brands, brings up a deep problem for humanity where
people
 usually are what they have.
For instance
, the poor class in Brazil is at least 30% of the population and the poorest 10%, and it is a result of a lack of equality where the middle class is a symbol of famous brand
consumption
. Nowadays is normal to see on the street imported cars, expensive watches and clothes.
Secondly
,
in addition
,
this
 boost in
consumption
 are developing mental health disorder only because
people
 are used to having possessions.
Thus
, a doctor specialist in mental issues said in an interview for the New York Times that those individuals who have been impacted by media and companies' advertisements can develop anxiety and depression.
For example
, yearly brands
such
 as Apple and the car market create new products model to maintain customers investing their money in it. To conclude, the problem isn't in how much
people
 are spending buying
goods
, and so, how it is impacting their life. In fact, controlling emotions and financial situations are the necessary balance for don't become a slave of the
consumption
 industry.
