Definición

  • Twenty-first-century Americans live in a consumer society, wherein people purchase objects and use them to define themselves and redefine relationships. Artifacts such as cars, clothing, and electronics speak to a person's ideas about self and community, conveying authority, belonging, or rebellion.
