Conspicuous Consumption

Conspicuous Consumption:





Thrift stores are an example of consumer's consumption and disposal of items that have gone "out of style" and are no longer lusted for. Even after an economic crisis, like 9/11/01, consumer's were encouraged to purchase items to "do their part and help our society". Although times are tough financially for some in today's society, people do still consume unnecessary items even if it may not be as many as they normally would.
