How to treat and correctly understand "consumerism"

Consumerism is the general name of principles, thoughts, wishes, emotions and corresponding practices that guide and regulate people's behaviors and relationships in consumption. Its main principles are the pursuit of decent consumption and the desire for unrestrained material enjoyment and recreation, and regard these as the purpose and value of life. It is an important part of today's western bourgeois morality.

How do we view and correctly understand consumerism? In fact, it is a form of activity that makes people happy. Consumption is profligacy. Consumption is closely related to people, which is a special relationship between people and commodities. Consumption is to meet their own needs, and it is constantly pursued under pressure. In today's society, people, people and goods are all associated with the word consumption. Some people think that the higher the consumption, the more satisfied. Therefore, the whole society is yearning for high-consumption and high-end brands, and feeling that they are using high-end brands means that they have high taste, but it is not. China is a thrifty country, and the older generation advocates thrift. Traditional ideas are being broken step by step. I think consumption is inevitable, but we should do what we can.
