❑ Shopping has become part of our lives and fulfills something we
are missing in life.

❑ A consumer should determine the important factor in


purchasing an item, whether it is a need or a want.
❑ our possessions have a purpose or consequences.
• First, it serves as a status and symbol.
• Second, it serves as a reflection of hard work and success.
• Third, it is a manifestation of hoarding.
• Lastly, it is a disorder, specifically Compulsive Buying
Disorder.
❑ our consumption also contributes to problems such as the
garbage problem and even the depletion of natural resources
(Belk, R.,1988)
We should strengthen our willpower, self-control, and
wisdom, not confuse ourselves with materialism. The things
money cannot buy are the following: manners, morals,
respect, character, common sense, trust, patience, class,
integrity, and love. May this remind you that whatever
amount is in your pocket right now is not a reflection of how
you think, talk, and perceive yourself
BODY
▪ Intentionally, we are investing in our body, and we make sure
that our body is functioning very well because any ailment
directly affects us.
CLOTHES
❑ The fabric and style of our clothes have an excellent effect on
our attitude and behavior. Therefore, what we choose and wear
reflects who we are.
IMMEDIATE FAMILY
❑ :It involves our parents and siblings, who hold an important part
of ourselves; we share failures and victories. Hence, we care,
love, and protect our immediate family.
HOME
❑ It is the earliest nest of our selfhood. The experiences, parts,
and things inside our home have a great impact on who we are.
Consumer
❑ Refers to someone who purchases items or uses services
for personal use. We often buy items based on their
brand and our other possessions to represent ourselves to
other people. This will usher a person into becoming
materialistic. They become envious of other people's
lives. They want to be in their position.

❑ This will lead many to constantly feel discontented and


never happy with what they have.
➢ In Maslow’s Expanded
Hierarchy of Needs, we
need to satisfy certain
needs hierarchically to
fulfill the highest
potential
PHYSICAL NEEDS
❑ These are the most important and
need to be satisfied.
❑ These are biological requirements
for Human survival
(water, clothes, food, air, shelter,
sleep, and sex)
SAFETY NEEDS
❑ Security, safety, and law
BELONGINGNESS &
LOVE NEED

❑ Intimate relationships, friends,


trust and acceptance, and being
part of a group
ESTEEM NEEDS

❑ It has 2 categories according to Maslow


▪ (1) esteem for oneself (dignity,
achievement, mastery, independence)
and
▪ (2) the need to be accepted and valued
by another individual (status, prestige)
COGNITIVE

❑ Understanding, knowledge, curiosity,


predictability, and need for meaning in
life
AESTHETIC NEED

❑ Appreciation and search for beauty,


balance, satisfaction, and harmony in
life
SELF-ACTUALIZATION NEEDS

❑ Realization of personal potential, self-


fulfillment, personal growth
TRANSCENDENCE NEEDS

❑ A person is motivated by values that


transcend beyond the personal self. It
also emphasizes spiritual connection and
helping others achieve their potential.
The material things we possess decrease in value as years
pass, but our manners toward others will leave a mark. Let
us then develop self-discipline in how we purchase and in
what we purchase.
❑ Power of mass media a led to the concept of celebrities
and the standard of beauty (newspapers, billboards, radio,
the internet, social media, etc)

❑ Most companies use “perfect” celebrities to market their


products. Unfortunately, some do not realize that the
models they see in glossy magazines and films are not how
they look in real life
❑ For a healthier self-concept, the mass media should exhibit
more realistic role models.
❑ It is also highly essential for social agents such as schools
and families to acquaint children with more accurate and
healthy body ideals.
❑ A beautiful body is not exactly a thin physique but a healthy
one. Instead of aiming for “model-like” physical structures,
we should aim to take good care of our bodies by adapting
habits that promote well-being.
