MATERIALISM

[UrKarma]

Materialism which proclaims the primacy of matter has its specific ethical consequences  it is selfishness and money-grubbing. After all no one wants to live in a society made up of egoists and money-grubbers.
Everyone understands what this threatens. But when the priorities are wrong in the society; when the material and spiritual balance is grossly violated then the consequences are inevitable. Then people lose the ability to love.

What are the positive and negative impacts of MATERIALISM?

I cannot see any positive impact as to materialism only thr fact that you need not to borrow something or anything to someone.  But as to materialism as buying anything that you want and having effects on your finances then it should be stopped.  Those whose happiness came from material things are poor ones, poor souls. 

[bongens]

Materialism refers to a cultural value placed on the accumulation of material possessions, a process in which people base their sense of themselves, their well-being, and social standing on possession.

I viewed materialism in two sides: Positive ..having or buying a lot of things for self satisfaction.Satisfying wants is good when you have the capacity or money to buy for it.Updated from the latest brand and fashions in clothing,gadgets,appliances and so on.
Negative..it drives you to become a addict shoppers .A person becomes a impulsive buyers of whatever things that attracts his sight.

Materialism is a sign of a good character that the word practical is applied but sometimes being a practical in living doesn't mean materialism.
The word materialism is to be grasp my all people. No one on earth does not a material person. Materialism is use too much that result to a person who can't manage self emotions, self wants just to satisfy what the wants of the body that cause other to an abusive person that always wants to gain material things. Sometimes people focus on this kind of emotion just to meet the wants.

What are the positive and negative impacts of MATERIALISM?

I think the positive impact of being materialism is that you'll set goals just to get what you want. You'll work had just to get the material things that you want in life. There are also negative impacts of course. Some of the negative impact of being materialistic is that it will be hard for you to be contented on what you have and will aim for more things. You can't appreciate every little things that you have because you want more material things in life.

What are the positive and negative impacts of MATERIALISM?

It is true you get money and financial growth  by being an material person but i for example i like the illuminism, i like to put the soul at the first place and after that comes the material needs.

[Zanuar003]

in my opinion Materialism does not recognize the existence of nonmaterial entities like gods, angels, demons, spirits, etc. The only reality is material and everything is a manifestation of material activity. The material and activities are eternal.

I think there's a positive thing about materialism. Because materialism can drive you, making you more aggressive to reach your goal. The positive effect would be, is it will make you goal driven.

Materialism as it best can keep you updated, make you look famous, rich and trendy if you have all the money to spend all of it but if not.. it's a big problem.. on the other hand, materialism can make you bad, makes you poor and slaves.. depending on the degree of your fashion or obsession to it. if you can afford to live a luxurious life nothing to worry about but if not, better check yourself from time to time.. to see if what you wants or want to buy fall on is base on needs or wants

I am not thinking about the negative side of materialism. I was always looking at the positive side of things and we all know that a materialistic person will do anything to get what he/she wants. If can be positive if its channeled the right way. He/she will be inspired to work and strive for the best to get the things or accomplish something. I always aim to buy things so that I'll be inspired to work even more. I am doings as a reward for my self for all of the hard work that I have done. There is nothing wrong with that as long as I'm not taking advantage of someone. Gold diggers was a different story. Lets not talk about them.

Materialism has both positive and negative effect, positive effect, you get updated in the latest, style, gadget, dress, shoes, equipment and more. Somehow your in top trends, you will not be left behind you got many friends connected to you, it can also be convenient and accessible at time. But too much of it will harm you, if you do not know to control yourself, if you live within of your budget its ok but if not, you will end up poor and lots of credit. And sometimes your life seems not complete without it, your life revolved around your wants more thank your needs. It become addiction of you lose control.
