More and more young people are beginning to oppose consumerism. Does low desire mean low consumption?

When the self-sufficient economic model is replaced by the market economy, everyone has to spend every day, without which they can't live. People want to make their lives personalized and high-quality, so they should raise their consumption level and earn more money. There are two kinds of low desires. One is that some people have low desires and are naturally low-consumption groups. However, some people have a strong desire, but they have to reduce their desire for economic reasons, so low desire is not necessarily the same as low consumption. Some low desires are contained and temporary, and they will release their desires at any time and turn into high consumption.

what is consumerism?

Consumerism is a common and vulgar value in developed countries, which yearns for unrestrained material enjoyment and entertainment. However, there are different definitions of consumerism in the scientific field, such as green consumerism and consumer protection. Because of the continuous development of economy, people have the ability to consume more things, and the cultural consciousness of consumerism has subtly influenced people's consumption concept. People with economic ability embody consumerism values in their purchase actions, while people with limited economic conditions can't achieve high consumption, but they are also trying to imitate consumerism lifestyle. Because China's traditional culture advocates frugality, it has also produced a new consumer culture consciousness after colliding with western consumerism values.

how to realize rational consumption?

Young people are pursuing a personalized and high-quality life, and their desire for consumption is also relatively strong. Even if their economic ability is insufficient, they will achieve consumption through overdraft, which is caused by the excessive influence of western consumerism culture. Although people's desire for consumption is endless, most people are thrifty and restrained in consumption under the influence of Chinese traditional culture. There are many kinds of goods in the market, and the quality of many big brands is not much different from that of ordinary brands. However, the prices are very different, which requires people to be rational when they consume, choose good and cheap goods, and also curb waste, thus reducing excessive consumption.

People's demand for food, clothing and other daily necessities is actually limited, but people have endless desires because of vanity or other psychological defects, which requires people to consume rationally and concentrate on their own hearts.
