Why does consumption increase even in a recession?

First of all it´s of course natural to consume when you need something. You need food to eat, clothes on your body, furniture in your home and a lot of things, at any rate do you believe you need a lot of things, consequently you buy often and so do others, you don´t even think about it. Nowadays our world is built up for consuming and your life is going fast, besides without any struggle if it is possible. When you for example are going to cook you even don´t need to cook at all. You can buy food which already is cooked. Articles aren´t of a good quality either, it´s necessary to buy new things almost the time.

Advertising has also influence on you, whether you believe it or not. You also consume or you "go out shopping" just to cheer you up with something new and when you are unlucky you do it, besides when it´s boring, because you need consolation. Then it´s about clothes and for example sweets, you buy more than usually of it, it´s a consolation just for the moment. Or you eat too much food, often unhealthy food. The later can make you ill and make you thick. It all turns in an "evil spiral", because when you have done this, i.e. bought things just for buying or eaten too much food your feeling isn´t quiet good. It has been too much of all. And the luck then was a shallow luck, not real. It was superficial. You´ll see this fact or not.

When a recession occurs over the world in addition to the usual life, you feel powerlessness and at the same time you feel anger. You will not face it, can´t understand and can´t deal with the politicians who govern and make decisions, which don´t make happy. In fact, it´s similarly with others, but you feel it´s unfair to you personally. You are suspicious against almost everything, because a recession will press you down, put you in a bad mood. You aren´t prepared. If you at the same time a recession occurs are unemployed, it´s much harder. You are twice unhappy, distressed. In a recession the economic systems will change, the allowance maybe deteriorate or even disappear. You will not accept. They could have planned a recession. Your reaction can result in that you´ll make quite contrary to the recession, in a way to protect yourself. You pattern your inner brake. You will not fall down, especially important when you have a family, children. No job, less money, it´s a matter of fact.

Nevertheless you need consolation. An easy way to get that is to consume. Who knows what will happen further you maybe think, better consume when time there is. At that moment you don´t think that much about money for the future, there maybe isn´t money then. You are sad in heart and forget problems when you buy. Time do you anyway have just for consuming. This is a kind of instinct of self-preservation, to come over the problem. Why be bored? When you consume, the world will change, not only for yourself, there will be jobs for some people to produce what you consume.

  1. Maybe a short intoduction to the subject!? Just very short…

    Try to answer the question which is in the headline…if you answer this question with a few different facts and/or well considered thoughts it actually would be a better, arguing essay.

    You could have tried to put in more arguements; this would have helped you a lot in your work. It is a quite hard essay to read when sentences are incomplete. It's also a strange choise of words somettimes, which you should have considered.

    If this had been made + if you had proofread it, I guess and hope you would have seen this!
