New items are coming out all the time, each and everyday. They stock the shelves of stores all around the world. Anything from electronics, clothing, shoes, houseware, you name it, there is always something new being introduced into the world. Many people believe it is mandatory to have the newest and the best, every single day.
Name brand items for clothing such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Coach, and Gucci, are household names today. My question is, why spend $500.00 on a purse, clothing , or along those lines that really only costs around $30.00 to manufacture? People nowadays are buying the name of the company, not the product itself.
From shoes and clothes, to iPods and cell phones, we see it everywhere. Teens are now demanding name brand products, instead of owning generic items for hundreds of dollars less. Money is a big issue in society now, and the name brand companies aren’t lowering their prices to accomodate to peoples budgets.
Until some people step up and demand they won’t pay the outrageous prices for a basically inexpensive product, money is going to be wasted on unneccesary things, and neccesary items won’t be affordable to the common household any longer. Nowadays, people buy a name, not a product. Now teens can buy their way into popularity and acception, instead of earning it like we should.
Teens everywhere are pressured to the have the best of the best, everyday, no matter what it is. Another cruel way to conform to society. It isn’t “bad” to have generic material that is just as good as name brand products. Why waste money on something you may not like a week later?
