Today, most people don`t think money is most valuable thing. Their mind has been changed a lot. For example, people are more interested in health and well-being not making a lot of money without goals. They do what they want to do in real life. Naturally, it isn`t weird that there are tons of things that lure people`s mind. So, I think people living in this era always have goals that fulfill their endless desire. And they always want to have more stuff, too. This is also a result of competition of many manufactures and advertisements..
To start with this, people have desire. Desire for having worthy substances for themselves. I think when people have what they want to have, then they feel happy for a short time. But that feeling would not last that long. For example, my friend bought a Canon DSLR camera a few days ago. He bought a very expensive lense that cost over 1500$. We went to the spot that having a panoramic view like mountain, lake, sea or so. This is the story about 2 months ago. Now, he has more expensive lenses and equipment like flash, tripod, bag, extra battery, memory card, etc. He still plans to buy a new camera body. This is because there are too many kind of camera and stuff that attract my friend`s mind.
For second reason that I truly have this point of view, there are too many company that produce various kinds of stuff that meet the customer`s needs. The company`s goal is making profits and they always think about how to sell more. By advertising through TV or Internet, substances are sold to purchaser. Simply, this is not the end. Company still want to make more profits, and purchaser also always want to have more valuable stuff that meets their needs. For example, there are huge electronic stuff company, Apple, Sony, Samsung compete each others for a long time. They make MP3 players. Their advertisements are everywhere so that if we want to see their ads, we don`t need to try to find it. It is everywhere around us.
To sum up, the combination of goals of manufacturer and purchaser, there always has been ‘attractive stuff’. When people bought something, then a new thing appears. I think this is quite natural phenomenon. But we still need to think about what is real goal for my life. |
