Materialism vs Consumerism
I have recently become really interested in the comparison of Consumerism and Materialism. First I would like to set a definition for these two words. Consumerism: the preoccupation of society with the acquisition of consumer goods. Materialism: the preoccupation of society to material possessions and their physical composition. These definitions are my own, and extracted from the many definitions of consumerism and of materialism available online. If you don’t agree with the definitions please share your own in the comments below. I want to make a clear distinction in the definitions of each word, because I think that each word has a completely different implication but too often their use and understanding are confused.
