Consumerism

Thesis:

Nowadays, social media have affected our lives in many different ways, with no exception among teenagers. Young people access social media not only for the purpose of entertainment anymore, but also for information, connection, and even consumption.

The simplicity gained from accessing social media about goods brings consumerism.

Consumerism is defined as the increase of consumption of goods and services purchased in the market to fulfill people’s desirable goals or wellbeing and happiness maintenance (Hayes, 2021).

Here are  everal reasons why social media have impacted the rise of consumerism.

Argument 1 + elaboration:

Years ago, whenever people wanted to buy something, they needed to drive certain distances and visit stores.

In stores, people would find the information about what they needed by observing directly or asking the store employee about the details.

However, this way significantly changed due to the presence of social media.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and else, provide information about various goods that can be accessed anytime, even from home.

For instance, if you are interested in purchasing a pair of shoes but are unsure of which type best fits your needs, social media will provide descriptions along with pictures.

If you are still unsure, they also allow you to post questions through comments sections or personal chats with the sellers.

Direct testimonies, public comments, or stars given by other customers, are often considered more reliable than speaking to store employees, or viewing a company website.

The details provided can eliminate the necessity to visit a brick-andmortar location, thus eliminating time spent in a store as well as commuting.

Argument 2 + elaboration:

The tendency to imitate the behavior of inspiring people around also affects people when they decide to buy certain products.

These people are called influencers coming from idols, favorite students, or celebrities that become teens’ role models.

Their popularity increased as the more followers they earn have invited marketing companies to ask them to advertise their products.

They set some standards for fashion, room decor, cute tools, and many daily products.

To be acknowledged as a part of an updated society, teenagers tend to purchase those goods recommended by the influencers, whether they need them or not.

Argument 3 + elaboration:

Social media are inexpensive platforms for companies to reach millions of users.

A lot of companies have joined hands with these platforms so their target users may often unconsciously see their advertisements.

In addition to that, companies offer special deals, promotions, discounts, and cashback rewards that influence teenagers’ consumption behavior.

Some teens might need to wait for several months just to buy a branded watch waiting for the discount season, and go back and forth to check it out at the store.

However, now they simply can check their social media accounts or most of the time the advertisements pop up on their page.

Reiteration:

Those reasons above may explain why social media has become a greater force for buying decisions due to the conveniences it offers.
