Positive: it will raise your status quo, you will become famous, you will have many friends, you will feel fulfilled.
Neegative: you will become greedy and desire for more and more, you will loss your spiritual focus. You value more of your material things over spiritual things.

the good side of materialism is not denying the world were living in, its good because it should lead us to "reality", and also helping us develop and create the world as it is, but the not so good of materialism is our habit or our disability of not able to accept whatever we said, so when we said materialism is the true being we are just ending up provinding another antitheses, like idealism, the problem with materialism is it's not fullfill or answer all of our question, so we are living in a material world and thinking hard about "hereafter"

I think materialism is viewed in a negative light because people may have had unpleassant experiences with materialistic people. We know from research that materialism tends to be associated with treating others in more competitive, manipulative and selfish way, as well as with being less empathetic. Such behavior is usually not appreciated by the average person, although it is encouraged by some aspects of our capitalist economic system.

[Kuchiyosenojutsu]

Negative side: life that is materialistic cause of moral decadence in the middle of society.
the materialistic nature assumes that the most important thing in life is the mastery of matter. people with this view will automatically fill their lives by seeking a moment's pleasure, "he said." This is exacerbated by the fading of religious values ​​and noble character. "
Negative aspect, selfishness and self-interest

the materialistic facet of materialistic life is the strong will to earn as much money, for which he strives to establish business, with the existence of materialistic business there is a factory factory, trade trade and economic progress that gives the opportunity to work on others.
Another aspect is the existence of a wasteful life, spending money, then the economy grows.
The materialist is usually diligent and diligent

Am assuming you're not talking about philosophical materialism here..

The pros are you get awesome stuff and all the benefits of conspicuous consumption such as status and ladies etc.

The cons are you could buy too much & live beyond you means and lose it all eventually.

[ehab.co]

Pro: You are perceived to be happier and more successful by your peers
You gain a fleeting hit of endorphins when you purchase something new
You look fly

Negs: The perception of happiness and success is a facade
You need to buy more stuff to keep getting that hit, it isn't a long lasting satisfaction
The planet is getting trashed by our throw away lifestyle
We exploit other humans in developing countries to produce tat we don't have any utility for
There's a group of people who are getting incredibly wealthy off the back of consumerism, and then pay for marketing and adverts to perpetuate the situation
It's possible that some of the items you own, you were "persuaded" to buy by advertising etc. Therefore you aren't fully in control of your own decisions......

Some positive sides of materialism are the fulfillment of having or buying the things you desire, and the idea that people, including yourself, would think that the things you have are what makes you happy and/or successful.

However, this feeling of fulfillment, although satisfying, is not really beneficial. Your happiness will be based on the materials you have, and what you wish to have. It is wasteful in some level.

I think the positive impact of materialism is that you will be famous for having all the material things that you have. It will make you proud of your self. However, it will make you greedy. Being too materialistic is not good.

What do you mean exactly by materialism? Do you mean a philosophical doctrine or concept that only physical matter exists for real, while all things like soul, spirit, God are only a figment of our imagination, or something about an attitude toward money as well as material things and high importance of them in human life?

[dragon fire]

Materialism is a philosophy that states that what can really be said is matter. Basically everything is made up of matter and all phenomena are the result of material interaction. Material is the only substance. As a theory, materialism includes a monistic ontology. Materialism, however, differs from ontological theory based on dualism or pluralism. In providing a singular explanation of reality, materialism is opposed to idealism.

Materialism does not recognize nonmaterial entities like spirits, ghosts, demons and angels. Immortal actors do not exist. There is no God or the supernatural world. The only realities are matter and everything is a manifestation of material activity. The material and activity are eternal .No first mover or first cause. No life, no eternal mind. All the phenomena change, ultimately transcending existence, which returns again to the primordial material base, eternally, in a transition of the eternal being of matter.

exactly my thought. I completely agree with you.

[scaramanga1337]

materialism leads to crime, envy, violation, corruption....all or at least many bad things in the world... people who live for material possessions instead of  spiritual values destroying are pitiable

[Shikaina]

Positive is we need it because we are oved ng in a material world or physically. Negative is, too much of it will make us discontented and greedy. Our human heart is never satisfied with anything. We always want more and if we are given more we even desire for more that cause us to covet. Cause us to envy, jealous and steal. And a lot more of negative characters we develop.

[bedulook]

Positive impact of materialism help us to strive higher above our current situation and seek for more , but negative impact make us less spiritual and we lose focus on our purpose here on this earth.
