Dear Reader:
In connection with the previous blogpost, I found this interesting, short piece on what some researchers say causes materialism to increase during the early adolescent years. Basically: Low self-esteem. Click on the link to the blogsite GROMIND to read the article.
However, here is one sign of a changing ethos. According to a Science Daily article published in June, ostantatious displays of materialism may be going out of style. In other words, maybe soon it will be IN style to be OUT of style. Cool.
