The Story of Stuff: Consumerism at its Worst America has become a culture that is ‘for consumers, by the corporations’. While this is an immense statement, there is enough evidence to back such a claim. For one, it can be reflected in the fact that every aspect of our life involves commodities in some way: from the bed we sleep on, to the food we eat on our tables, to what we do for entertainment..
