Consumerism is social and economic order that is based on the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods or services in ever greater amounts. In other words, increased consumerism also increases consumption of goods. In today's society consumerism is often portrayed to be a negative aspect of people's lives and purchasing behaviours, which inevitably leads to materialism. So, increased consumerism has many disadvantages, such as pollution and increased wastage in form of money.
