Consumerism Pattern

What is consumerism pattern? It involve how we buy things, how businessmen sells their products. The consumers' patterns mainly revolves around our desires, thoughts, emotion and skills and behavior towards SEX( Scheduled/Spontaneous Emotional Experience) also plays a role.

Consumerism is define as an over indulgence in consumer spending which give rise to consumers buying unnecessarily.

How a selling process starts? It all started when somebody have something to sell. This person who has the things to sell will crack his head on how to sell it. The sellers will always create or trying to convince you that you needed their products and hence, gives rise to impulsive buying. The person who sells what people needs will most probably end up poorer than people who sells what people want.

What is buying? The process starts when a person have a needs or wants to purchase a certain item which he feels is necessary. This will give rise to impulsive buying when a person in confused between his needs and wants. This emotion will motivate or initial him buy the product. But after careful analysis on the function of this product, and how it will help him in his daily life, very often we will found that this particular purchase is more of a need rather than want.

When we are motivated into buying items based on emotion, the joy of having it is quite short live. This will generates further desire to purchase an upgraded version of the model which have features which you feels that you needed it.

All human beings have invisible floodgates within them; these floodgates control their emotional, thoughts, skill and desire. The emotional floodgates control how you feels towards someone special, how emotional you feel to an object or ideas. If your emotion is controlled, this person might not be able to feel your love; this will caused numerous problems in a relationship, whether it is marriage or business partners. This paper will only touch on business activities only, however, the way we handle our business will indirectly affect the way we handle our personal affairs.


A lot of businesses faced problems because the owner makes too many emotional decisions and too emotional attached to their ideas and business plans. Emotion should practice with care and considerations an over flow of emotions will give unnecessary stress on the business. Example; when a project had faced with some hitches. The project manager thinks of a method that can resolve it, but then numerous factors had pointed that his idea cost too much and might not be effective. But, this project manager is too emotional attached to his idea and force a go ahead, if the idea pulls through, but at what cost, if not what are the consequences? This is a case of unable to control their floodgates of emotion.
