The article that I read is everyone is buying it. It basically talks about how college students like to buy things they do not even need. They would buy a lot of designer shoes, purses, clothes, etc just to show off. We are getting really materialism. I completely agree with what the author said because I would have the same thoughts and maybe the same actions as the girls she referred in the article.
This article is very timely because it is a common phenomenon. We always get things that we want from our parents when we are young, which develops the bad habit. Peer pressure is often seen among the same age group, especially for college students, they are always comparing to each other. Girls would buy lots of luxurious like bags and dresses while boys buy watches, etc. What’s more, the company has done a lot of work to do advertisements to attract young people. As the article said, the company would use a lot of idols, celebrities to make us buy things. Considering different aspects, it is really easy for people, especially college students to buy something that we really do not need. After reading her article, I started thinking about my shopping habit. I would want to buy something so bad just because I saw someone else bought it or I saw my favorite idol is doing the commercial. Sometimes, after I bought the item, I will never use it again and it will be forgotten forever. Always think twice before I decided to buy something.
