Effect Of Materialism
History has witnessed that when civilization just started off, the earliest of men who existed around that time, prioritized convenience and comfort over appearance, gloss and the surface shininess. They listened to their needs than their wants. This was the approach that had ensured the proper equilibrium between man and the wild. It kept both parties equal benefactors in the whole process. Waste was never an issue back then as it never happened.
However, as the wheels of times turned, there was a change in the mindset of the human beings who later inhabited the earth. They preferred packaging and presentation of the product to be better than the product itself. They gave too much importance to the glossy eye catching things than to the more practical and useful ones. Materialism had crept into the world in tiptoes and had taken it by storm. It is easy to prove if one compares the clothing and lifestyles of people belonging to the prehistoric and medieval times. The heavy costumes and wasteful parties of the medieval times were proof enough to show the materialistic lifestyles of the people.
This change worsened and strained the relation man had with the nature as man became more and more greedy. Nature was the one who had to bear the brunt for it was not able to keep up with the wants and demands of man. The increasingly extravagant demands of the humans were slowly and surely putting the planet on a set trail towards an artificially created crisis.
The unnecessarily extravagant humans have yet to learn their lesson and this materialism is being inherited. Children grow up watching their parents waste everything, paper, power, water, food, etc. When they watch TV, they see celebrities doing the same thing, wearing unnecessarily flashy costumes and shiny leggings. This only leads them to become what their parents were; wasteful and materialistic citizens.
If this approach to nature goes on, the world as we know it may not be able to take it much longer. The current climatic and economic crises suggest that we may not be far off from a global meltdown. Will we be able to mend our ways in time?
