Born To Buy?

For a change, I thought I’d kick off this unit with a few open questions before we get to the course texts and research parts.

At this stage, I’m just interested to hear your thoughts and views. There are no right or wrong answers.

Okay, here they are:

1. What is a "consumer"?

2. What is materialism?

3. What is consumer choice?

4. How do you decide what to buy/not buy?

5. How does consumerism affect our behavior?

6. What do the things you choose to buy say about you?
