stuff

I've always known that America was a "me first" society. Of course, this individualistic culture naturally draws people to consume a lot of things and I think the video did a good job and showing how we can be wasteful but there were some exaggerations. For example i don't think that many people are moving to the city on a daily basis, but I am sure many people are. Sometimes videos exaggerate just to make it more "shocking" and then the viewers will listen more. But America's consumeristic ways aren't necessarily all bad. It's just a way of life and for our society it's the only thing we know. We may be wasteful, but I really don't think anything or anyone plans on changing.

The truth is the facts are real. Sometimes the truth is shocking.How America consumes is ridiculous. We consume way more than we need too. Our lives are wrapped around these not necessary and insignificant things we produce. We need to change because we can not survive as a society if we are always consumed with stupid stuff.
