Abstract

CONSUMERISM, in general, is understood as a concept that increasing the consumption of goods is economically desirable. Consumerism is undeniably essential for the livelihood of people. However, consumerism is commonly tied to capitalism and materialism, leaning towards achieving commercialisation and profit. To some extent, excessive consumerism activities can cause harm to the environment and bring about social injustice. A brief history of consumerism Modern consumerism emerged in the 18th century when goods were mass-produced in factories for the first time. With this mass production, ordinary people could afford to buy textiles, jewellery, and other items which were otherwise exclusive to the upper social class. In the 19th century, advertising became very popular in many countries, including Germany, France, and the USA.
