Re: Addiction to shopping

The visual argument on addiction to shopping shows the bad things that happens when one is addicted to shopping. For example, it shows how some people are willing to risk their safety in order to get the merchandise they desire. At the beginning of the video, the people are rushing inside the Disney store to buy one specific item, which is followed by the picture of the mall with a lot of people.
There are better things to do than to shop and this visual argument also shows it. For example, one can volunteer to do something better for the community and for themselves and others as well.
Shopping just leads to bad things when it becomes an addiction. It doesn’t just put peoples’ lives into danger but it also get them into trouble and sometimes it just gets people in debt with their credit cards. In reality the credit cards don’t help but instead they put people in even greater debt.
Shopping once in a while isn’t a bad thing but one has to realize that if there is a great amount of shopping being done, one can do something better than that. There are many organizations one can join and people are always looking for volunteers to help out.
