It is rare to find an objective and independent viewpoint on style, literature, politics, or any other matter. Many people's opinions are formed through their associations with others.

Materialism: it's the thing that everybody loves to hate. Few aspects of modern life have been more criticized than materialism.

People may criticize modern society for being too materialistic, but the fact remains that most of us spend most of our energy producing and consuming more and more stuff.
