What's Your Waste Size?

Consumerism is an idea that most of society is controlled by and some do not even realize they are a part of it. The saying is “less is more”, but many go about living while thinking that more is more and that the more you have, the better. Especially with social media and advertisements, people are suffocated with the pressure to buy material things that they most likely do not need. Then, they buy them because they think those items will somehow enhance their quality of life when that’s usually not the case. People buy the new trendy clothing, technology, makeup, and more because they are influenced to think those things are what they need to fit in with the crowd and be content with themselves. Consumerism leaves people constantly wanting more and can trap them into thinking that they are what they buy.
