Capitalism has fueled growth, we are more prosperous than before. Capitalism made most of us rich, prosperous. Industrialization resulted in mass production of food, medicines. We are not dying of hunger anymore or of disease like cholera, malaria (most part of the world). <\/span><\/p>\n Anyone can work hard and build empire out of Ashes.<\/span><\/p>\n Capitalism also resulted in Consumerism, we started becoming more and more obsessed with things we \u00a0never wanted. Do you think our forefathers cared about our skin, who would have thought that in year 2018, smartphones will come with skin tones and pimple removal features. <\/span><\/p>\n The phenomenon of social proof gave rise to acquiring or doing things out of peer pressure. \u00a0I too will have to go on vacation or buy a luxurious car because some neighbor or family member has bought it. <\/span><\/p>\n Everyone of our age visits pub and drinks on weekend, so this must be cool & I too should do it. <\/span><\/p>\n What has happened to us, what about our intellect?<\/span><\/p>\n We are living in a society where we are constantly fed with so much of information that we are dancing on the tunes of few who are wanting us to act in a particular way\/manner.<\/span><\/p>\n What is wrong with us? <\/span><\/p>\n Have we thrown our intellect and turned into a herd where nobody knows which direction to go but everybody knows whom to follow? <\/span><\/p>\n\n
