Is having the latest technology a want or a need?
How often do you get a new cel phone or mp3 player? Did you really need a new model? Do you consider the environmental impact of these purchases? If you are addicted, how can you break your addiction?
Wants or Needs? >
Wants or Needs
There is a big difference between wants or needs. To you need to have a super cool car that is very harmful to the environment, no. If everyone looked at life as what they need instead of what they want the whole world would be healthier and people would be too. The more things a person wants, the more manufacturing it costs. If everyone just got by on what they needed instead of wanting things all the time every would be in a stable environment and stable financially. Many people mistake wants Vs. needs. Many people thinking they need this or need that, but that is really just a front for what they want. I fall into this category to sometimes I say, "I need that" when really my life would be the sam without it. When people buy things they just have to consider if they really need it or they just want it.
I agree with the fact that there is a big difference between wants and needs and of course there is something to debate about it. In my opinion, because of the consumer society, people have confused what they need for life and what they need to buy. That is to say, people are too materialistic and that causes many damage to the planet. I also want to mention that if people are not materialistic anymore, then the consumer society will be in crisis, and that will rise the unemployment. But every cloud has a silver lining, with the rise of unemployment, there will be less consumer and people will buy less material things. Many people think that with more products in their possession, they will be happier, but the truth is, they will not be happier with this or those products, they will be happier if they do want they love. Do not confused Wants and Needs, Wants is what you thing you need and Needs are what is essential to live. To conclude, I think that before people have to buy something, they have to check their bank account to see what can be the impact on it.
I agrees with it too. We should try to focus on what problems it might cause for environment before our wants. I think what we really need is a healthy and better environment.
