CONSUMERISM

AINA MARDIA BINTI ZAHARUDDIN 2216370  CONSUMERISM I was really amazed by "the story of stuff" film (Creative Commons, 2013). Annie Leonard made the point that individuals nowadays are subjected to a variety of forms of propaganda and pushed to acquire a variety of goods, whether or not they are necessary. As a result, consumerism developed. In actuality, this phenomena is also present in Hong Kong, Malaysia and more other country particularly with regard to online shopping. The items displayed on the web are with a very attractive price; some clothes can be purchased by just RM5 to RM20, even add on the cost of shipping is only costing about RM4,90. Shoppe, Lazada, and Shein are new and popular online shopping platforms among Malaysians. Sincerously, I am also a regular shopper. However, after viewing thiS video, I would think twice before making a decision to buy new clothing or accessories going forward since I no longer want to gravely burden our beautiful and only planet....
