The strong want to be able to have the popular things/items that are seen all over the internet, muddle the opinion of whether it is actually needed, or do we want it so bad that it feels like we need it? Lots of things are bought because someone wants it, but when something is needed, people noticeably slack on buy that item because it isn't wanted.

I agree with this, that many of the expensive things we buy are not necessities. However, in the world we live in it is a prised thing to have the coolest new thing or the next celebrity item. Along with people having the need to seem cool or fit in. This goes to show that everything we do contributes to climate change even as something as simple as buying the next popular clothing item to fit in because not only does it lead to over consumption but it leads to our judgment about wants vs needs being clouded.

I could see how people want to follow the latest clothing trends, buy celebrity items, and buy the coolest new things to try and fit in but Ive never bought celebrity items, my I phone is over five years old, and Ive had the same set of clothes for the past three years. despite this, Ive never struggled with fitting in or wanting to look cool. I have also rarely bought things out of a want to look cool and really only buy things out of necessity and occasionally for my hobbies.
