The Sociology of Consumption -...

Fred Grandsen

Consumption is more than just the act of buying goods and services; it is deeply embedded in social life, shaping identities, relationships, and cultural norms. Every purchase, whether intentional or subconscious, communicates something about an individual’s values, social status, and aspirations. From luxury fashion to everyday grocery choices, consumption reflects broader social trends and plays a crucial role in defining personal and collective identities.
One of the key aspects of consumption is its role in self-expression. People often use products to craft and communicate their identities, signaling their tastes, lifestyles, and even political beliefs. Clothing, for example, can represent a person’s social class, cultural background, or profession, while the brands they choose may indicate affiliations with certain social groups. The rise of sustainable fashion, vegan products, and ethical brands demonstrates how consumers align their purchases with their moral values, reinforcing the idea that buying is not just about necessity but about meaning.
In addition to personal identity, consumption is tied to social status and economic class. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu argued that consumption patterns are shaped by “cultural capital,” or the knowledge, tastes, and habits associated with different social classes. Wealthy individuals may engage in conspicuous consumption, a term coined by Thorstein Veblen, where luxury goods serve as symbols of status and exclusivity. However, in modern consumer societies, status can also be displayed through experiences, such as luxury travel or exclusive events, rather than material possessions alone.

Narcissism - Identifying Traits...

Coral Nunez

Narcissism is a term often used to describe individuals who are excessively self-absorbed, lack empathy, and crave admiration. While everyone exhibits some level of self-interest, narcissism exists on a spectrum, ranging from healthy self-confidence to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), a diagnosable mental health condition. Understanding narcissism requires examining its characteristics, origins, and the myths that often surround it. 
At its core, narcissism is marked by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a deep need for validation, and an inability to acknowledge the emotions of others. Narcissists often present themselves as charming, confident, and charismatic, but beneath the surface, they struggle with fragile self-esteem. Their self-worth depends on external validation, making them highly reactive to criticism or perceived rejection. 
The origins of narcissistic traits can often be traced back to childhood experiences. Some narcissists are products of excessive praise and entitlement, while others develop these traits as a defense mechanism against neglect or abuse. A child raised in an environment where love is conditional—based on achievement or obedience—may grow up believing their worth is tied to external success rather than intrinsic value. In some cases, narcissistic tendencies are reinforced by societal pressures that prioritize status, power, and material success over genuine emotional connection.
