Based on your readings and material presented in lecture, explain why our wants so drastically exceed our needs. Also, what are some changes that could be made to bring our wants more in line with our needs?
What will be an ideal response?
Material goods as a substitute for community; work-to-spend cycle; treadmill
of consumerism. Changes could be pursued by allowing more leisure time; not defining
community via materiality but rather sentiments and relations.
