Financial fitness for an economic perspective

Financial fitness for an economic perspective

That which distinguishes modern consumptive habits from those that prevailed in previous eras is that we are richer than our ancestors, so we have more destructive effects on the environment, and no doubt there is much of the truth in that view, but there is also reason to believe that there are certain forces in the modern world that encourage people to react to their consumption desires, something that has rarely happened before.

So there are five distinct new factors that seem to play a role in instilling greedy desires, namely the impact of pressures social on human societies and advertisements, and the culture of shopping and procurement, The various policies, the penetration of the wholesale market in the world home and the self-reliance local.

It has been said that the net value equals the intrinsic value, meaning that your true value is the value of the money, and based on this definition the consumption becomes rotary grinder, where people estimate their social states how rich or poor every one of them.

Psychological data from many states confirm that money-based satisfaction does not come from mere possession, but rather that it verifies that more money is owned than others, and that this year it has more than last year.

Perhaps one of the most unusual things that the majority of the psychological data show that the main elements of happiness in life are not associated with consumption at all. One of the most important elements is the satisfaction of life. Then family satisfaction of work, leisure time and friendships.

In a comprehensive survey on the relationship between prosperity and satisfaction, Jonathan Friedman noticed that above the poverty level, the relationship between income and happiness is significantly slim.

"Buying things has become proof of self-esteem and a means of social acceptance," says Alan Dering, a distinctive sign of what his economic name is Thorstein-Ballen financial fitness.

The marketing specialists have found ways to constantly promote their goods. Advertisements are broadcast by many television, radio and internet and by social media outlets, and they are slicked to billboards Advertisements, in sports stadiums, are sent around the Earth from satellites, in subway stations, on video screens on the wall in commercial markets, and advertisements are rolled into classrooms Doctors ' clinics and websites are placed on sports boards.

Advertising has become one of the fastest growing industries, so the proliferation of shopping center, in a roundabout way, has encouraged forced buying and many critics believe that the design the commercial shop yards Commercial, in itself, promotes the reckless acquisition.

National economic objectives are explicitly built that most the best, for example, national statistics refer to people as consumers rather than citizens in most cases and because economic policy builds on the modern economics system, it considers excessive consumption and overheating as healthy growth.

It is worth mentioning that the advertising industry is a mortal enemy of human beings that permeates all parts of the world, but it is subject to criticism when it insists on goods that endanger human life.

Thus. that self-restraint will thus have little effect unless it is accompanied by bold steps in the face of the forces that encourage consumption, as well as repeated calls for the environmental and social reforms needed to achieve continuous the goals, such as rationalizing energy systems, balancing population growth, ending poverty, and taking action to curb excessive advertising, curb the culture of shopping, and eliminate policies that leads to consumption We can be happier, if our consumption is less.
