HW 31 - Exploring Methods of M,M,C,A, & Aggrandizing the Self

Part A

i was at my cousins house and i notice that he had just bought these sneakers that i knew cost a lot one of the questions i asked him was why did he waste so much money on these sneakers when he could have saved up for something or just kept the money his response to this was "the reason i spend so much i sneakers is because sneakers is something i enjoy having and they also make me feel a little cooler because i am wearing something i like"

i thought that his answer was pretty true and he wasn't like really trying to avoid the question he just went with how he like sneakers and how it makes him feel cooler and i think thats the case for people who do spend a lot of money on things they either buy it for those two reasons.


Part B

one of the things that i am starting to do a lot which is pretty much the same thing my cousin did just i don't spend that much money on them is i've been getting into sneakers. the reasons that i think that i've gotten to the habit of buying sneakers is because sometimes i see people with some really nice sneakers that i would like than from there i would go online and see sneakers that i like and buy them. i guess i would fall under the categories of consuming because i am buying sneakers.
