"How Much Land Does A Man Need"

Today our world is filled with materialistic people. Why must we have to buy name brand things to feel important? Pop culture has a huge affect on people's character and impression. When one thing becomes popular for example, Polo, Uggs, Gucci, and Prada(clothing), we feel the need to go out and buy the expensive material to rub it in people's faces. You may look like you have all this money but really you could be spending it on more valuable things. We should be living life more simpler. No one should feel the need to try and compare with one another, just be yourself. I would be damned if I went out and bought Gucci or Prada, other stores are selling the same items just not with their logo. So why waste your money? I feel as though we need a reality check because people are changing who they are to try and be like other people or just be popular. All your doing to yourself is showing people you are a follower. Therefore, I do not believe we are on the right path. We should be living life simpler and more comfortable.
