Given that the U.S. economy is based on consumer spending, is patriotic to shop?
When holidays come around what is the most advertisements we see on TV? Yes clothing, electronics and appliances with the latest deals you can easily seal. Seems as if people are being bribed to have the best TV’s before football season starts. Even though we are going through a tough economic time it is very easy now more then ever to spend money. Stores are willing to have big sales and do anything for you to come in and shop. You can sign up for cards where you are being rewarded by coupons and more deals. It is very patriotic to go shopping now days.
The deals you can get right now are priceless shopping deals for the family. People are falling in love with fashion as well as the deals going on with it. People do have the urge right now to go and contribute to the economy. I think it’s important for people to see how they can help out in their ways. Yes that is going out and shopping but also spending money keeping things flowing.
The reason shopping is turning into being so patriotic is because there is no other reason to go out and spend money right now. So they have made this theme for it such as, “go out and buy football t-shirts for the big football season”. Also black Friday the biggest shopping day of the year, that is advertised for at least two months. One of the most common things to go out and do surround shopping with your family and during the biggest holiday of the year. Besides that is an easy way to keep the whole family with something to do.
Advertisements follow year round to what is happening around the world next. What is a better way but to follow holidays. Everyone usually wants something new around then to. Word will spread around about the great things one store has compared to another. It is easy to have the latest items while making yourself happy with indulging.
Right now in this culture I do think it is very patriotic to shop. It’s something cliché everyone can go out and do. Money is tight and when we do have it people want to spend it using how ever much of it they can. I think it is our way of showing what we are able to own.
Hey Brooke. I think this article was definately suited more for women in general since it's about shopping and stuff. Us guys aren't into spending hours searching for a T-shirt and clipping coupons. Anyway, your article was persuasive seeing as the consumers need to jump start our economy. Using the evidence of being able to get great deals was cool. You need more though. You should check out the rubric for this assignment though because it said we need several things that you are missing. Some of these things include two or more hyperlinks in support of your argument, an opposing view, and work on spelling and sentence construction. Also, I see your thesis statement is at the end of your first paragraph. Instead of just saying that it is patriotic to shop, give a specific raeson for it and then focus on prooving that in the rest of the paper. -thank, nick
