It can be very hard, or easy to confuse a want and a need. For example, in your meal there needs to be fruit, grains, vegetables, and proteins. This is the recommended meal that we should eat 3x a day to remain healthy, but do many people really do this all the time? No, sometimes you want that fast food meal, dessert for breakfast, or junk food before an actual meal. This is an example of an obvious want. A slightly confusing want though can be taking an hour long shower without turning off the water when not using it on a regular basis to feel extra clean, rather than A 15 minute one has the same effect as an hour long one. It is a little understandable when you are washing your hair though. Another confusing want is technology, which in this day in age is a necessity to a certain point due to the world changing from its man made ways. The main focus on why it's bad is because of the way it is disposed of and how it can cause human health problems which makes the world worse. Elaborating on the human health problems, it can make someone's health worse and possibly to the extreme which will cause medical health. The more machines that we use to help these people which are made in factories can release more bad toxins into the atmosphere. In the end when making certain decisions come to the understanding of if it is a need or want.
