1. Read the following excerpt from National Geographic Learning. Pay attention to the words in bold.

What is a Consumer Society? A consumer is a person who buys things, and a consumer society is a society that encourages people to buy and use goods 1.Some people think that a consumer society provides people with better lives. People in consumer societies tend to live more comfortably. They eat a wider variety of food. They go to restaurants more often. They also buy a lot of products, maybe more than they need. Products such as TVs, cell phones, and computers used to be luxuries 2. Today people can buy these things more easily than ever before. The market for these goods is growing faster all the time. Consumer societies encourage people to buy bigger and better products. For example, “smarter” phones come out every year. In a consumer society, people are often buying newer and more advanced products. This creates a lot of waste. Nowadays, many people are thinking more seriously about the effects of consumer societies on the environment, and they are trying to become more responsible consumers. 1 2

Consumerism, by its textbook definition, is the human desire to own and obtain products and goods that exceed one's basic needs. Generally, basic needs refer to having enough food, clothing and shelter. Another definition of consumerism that is less frequently discussed implies that buyers know their rights when seeking protection so that they are not treated unfairly or unfairly by traders. However, many references to consumerism refer to people buying goods.

more, and that can create a demand cycle that leads to higher production and more employment, leading to even higher consumption. Consumption creates a boom in the consumer goods and services industries and for the retailers that serve these industries, Dr. Seshan said. TP's Yeong said that growing consumerism can also lead to innovation and creativity in the marketplace. Said Professor Calvert, who is also director of research and development at NTU's Institute on Asian Consumer Insight: "The so-called free market economy has supposedly put the consumer in the driver's seat when it comes to market forces.
