The urban culture is noted for its consumerism. But is it that bad?

Yes it makes people buy thing even though they might not need it and makes people work harder than they should be. Extreme consumerism often leads to natural resources depletion.

On the other hand, it drives national economy, helps reducing the ever growing unemployment rate, and improves overall public welfare. Remember that the massive growth of US’s economic in the 50s is due to consumerism, so is Japan. If Indonesia wants to improve is economic, it might have to rely on consumerism.

I, personally find it short-sighted if people said that consumerism is an evil thing. Like everything in the world, everything has it pros and cons. If I have to choose, I’d rather eat bakery-made bread, ready-to-wear clothes, and off-the-shelf soaps & detergents

Quo vadis consumerism?

    Why would you eat clothes, soaps, and detergent? :?

    Anyway, blaming consumerism is indeed a kind of shallow opinion.

    same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!

    Add a big screen TV and different video game consoles and enjoy.
    You can include video games or other electronic equipment,
    but it may not be necessary if your guests are all fans of pool.

    If your game room is located in a basement that eliminates most if not
    all hardwoods because of moisture problems in basements.
