In my opinon, these videos are shocking, but also motivating. We need to be aware about the dangers that come from consumerism, which is panted in our heads thanks to advertising. If we didn't have money at all we would be more rich. We need to start thinking about what we really need, and stop buying those things that won't be necessary "just for fun". We also need to be alert and don't let ads get into our heads.

I think that consumism can be dangerous to our society because we start buying things that we don't need. Advertising make people buy products without really wanting.

Hi teacher! The videos that were displayed had a very powerful message. Regarding to consumerism, it tells us how we are brainwashed by big companies in order to buy unnecessary things. As to the advertising videos, it shows us how we are manipulated by common strategies that corporations use in ads.

In my opinion, people are becoming more and more consumerist, and they are starting to buy unnecessary things.
One of the reasons for the increase of consumerism is the fact that ads are everywhere. We should be attentive about what we really need.

Hi teacher! I saw the videos and I found it very powerful. They send a great message and open our eyes to what the big and small companies do to us.
We must resist the temptation of consumerism.

hello teacher! in my opinion all videos have a powerful message that we all should follow, because, most of us "practice" consumerism and this videos open our eyes to the strategies that companies use to make us buy things that we don't need.

After watching these videos, I believe consumerism really affects our mental health, and avertisement has a big role in it, since it is the thing which convinces us to consume more. It's sad to see that we, as a society, are being manipulated by other people into buying things we don't even need. I really liked the videos, and I think they got me thinking into my own consumer choices.

These videos were really important to watch, because only after watching them it is possible to understand what we all have been doing wrong for years. Unfortunately, our consumerism increases every day due to some types of advertisements that make us purchase things we do not really need, but just to keep up with the trends, we end up spending money on some things only because someone has it or someone influenced us to buy those things. I hope everyone who has seen these videos concluded the same thing I did and start making the wright choices.
We need to change as soon as possible before it is too late because our planet might not be able to sustain all of our "needs".

After watching these videos I realized that overconsumption means that companies have to produce even more, also contributing to the emission of gases affecting nature,particularly on mobile phones, computers, clothing and others that are then thrown away.

I think that the video about the psychology of consumerism sends an important message that warns us about what consumerism is all about and how easily people can be manipulated into buying things they don't need.
