Expository Essay - Consumerism

 

Because of the highly consumerism and the excessive demand of drugs, the funds of the pharmaceutical industry has rose and so they could invest in research and development more (Harrison, 2013). .
             Secondly, consumerism causes mostly negative impacts on natural resources. The negative impact of consumerism is that, people are wasting the natural resources rapidly. We keep to ourselves only one percent of the stuff we buy, the other ninety-nine percent of stuff gets trash every single year (Leonard, 2007). We throw away stuff very quickly as garbage and it causes the air to get polluted and the nature to be effected negatively by the climate change. "The world now experiences a high level of consumption for citizens based on advanced technology and infrastructure, so that wealth is at an all-time high but the gains which have accrued from this are threatened by environmental degradation, global warming and climate change. " (Cahill, 2001, p.1). This shows that; we face an excessive amount of consumption now, on highest degree technology and infrastructure and because of this, prosperity becomes the most important but it is at risk due to climate change. On the other hand, because of natural sources are wasted, renewable energy is becoming a common solution. Although in first world countries consumerism is more intense, they use more renewable or environment friendly products or sources but if there was not a concept named "consumerism ", we would not need renewable resources anyway. For example, electric vehicles are more popular in developed countries and because of they are not generating gas, it becomes a beneficial thing for the environment but it is still not enough to prevent the harms of consumerism.
             Lastly, consumerism is a negative thing in terms of economy but there are a little bit positive effects of it also. The negative effect of it can be that it is convincing people to throw away stuff that is still useful and purchase a new one by making the stuff look fancier (Leonard, 2007).
