Description
My research focuses on the damaging effects on materialism and commercialization on the human psyche. My investigation revealed to me the complex, constantly developing, conscious and unconscious viewpoint(s) of consumerism. From a psychological lens, excessive and pleasure purchases are exhausting our endorphin and serotonin levels. On the other hand, we observe an increase in pop-up shops and digitized marketing being presented to us in ways that manipulate our emotions.
