Consumption as an institution = shared way of thinking and acting. Both anxiety and happiness related to consumption. Institution of consumption shapes us, and we in turn shape the institution. Socialization = how we learn to be human. In contemporary society, we promote a consumerist way of living and thinking and relating to each other, more than any other external factor. A having way of life vs. a being way of life. Alienation = our removal from other people and from ourselves. Like consumerism, nationalism and religion are belief systems. Many see consumerism as the new religion or nationalism.
