Quindlin's Argument Over Consumerism And Materialism In America

Correspondingly to Quindlin’s argument over the consumerism and materialism in America, I truly believe that her statements are very accurate. America’s history has played a big role in its consumerism. She mentions in her article that the tragic 9/11 event has left us the mindset the we, as Americans, should contribute to our growing economy by purchasing American products in which it leads to the increasing amounts of consumerism in America. Although the citizens of America believe that by doing so, they are flourishing their economy but in reality, its just doing the opposite. Long term amounts of increased consumerism will lead to inflation due to the fact that the demand for American products is growing faster than the product being made.
