Topic :people tend to buy what others have rather than what they need. | |
|
Opinions vary regarding whether people tend to buy what others have rather than what they need.(It is debatable on people would have the strong tendancy to buy not what they trually need but what others have.) I agree with the statement for the following two reasons. For one thing, most people have been the use of money to buy what others have they do not need, which makes them to feel united with others (most people would spend their money to buy unnecessary things, which they think can lead to the strong bond with the others.). Additionally, people tend to purchase what others have in order to show off themselves( another view -> Purchasing what many people want to get can mean that the product is actually better than what he or she want to buy.).
First of all, many people have had some experiences that buy what others possess to feel united with others.(many people have had the same feeling of being isolated when they don't have what other people already had.) In general, people prefer to share (something) in common with others. The problem with this is that people would like to interact and feel a sense of belonging from products what others possess.(Such irrational thought would make them rush to buy the unnecessary things.) In this sense, people will purchase products others have although they do not need in order to feel united with others. According to a study conducted by Korean National Research Center, 71 percent of psychologists answered that people tend to feel a sense of belonging by catching up with new trend. For instance, if others, such friends and coworkers, purchase a new model car, people are willing to buy the same model or more luxury car even though they do not need the car. Based on the study, they say that the best way to follow new trend is to buy products others have, which makes them to feel united with others.
In addition, people tend to like to show off their economic power. Some people say that buying what others have is a good way to purchase what they need, referring to others’ products experiences. However, many people do not make right decisions about what they really need, but only want to boast themselves through products others possess. Take my case as an example. During my high school years, one of my classmates bought new model cell phone that is so expensive. However, nobody watched the phone to be used by him. It meant that my classmate only wanted to boast his economic power from the new model. As my experience illustrates, people tend to buy what others have rather than what they do not need because of showing off themselves.
In conclusion, it is not too much say that people prefer to purchase products others have rather than they need due to feeing united with others and showing off themselves.
