8.) What is the long-term cost of expanding western consumerism to a global economy and ecology?


The result and long-term cost is that we become in love with ourselves. We believe that the world revolves around us. By being so narcissistic, we lose perspective and context in the world. We become easily controlled and we begin to grow a fear of losing control, power and comfort. I never noticed before, but it’s sad that newspapers and news stories are so focused in delivering how North America has done “good” in a third-world country rather than giving the straight story. That definitely made me think.
