materialism and relationships  

Definición

  • Human relationships take place in broader cultural contexts that provide the settings and norms governing how people relate to each other. Many contemporary humans live in cultural contexts characterized by capitalism and consumerism, both of which encourage individuals to pursue their own self-interest, to obtain financial wealth, and to acquire many possessions signifying high status and the “right” image.
