My Super Sweet Sixteen :: Sweet 16 consumption Society Essays
My Super Sweet SixteenBut mom, this prepare is only seven thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars Its Louis Vutton, you bed thats a great deal. In the long run, Sophie ended up with the wallet-denting designer fishing tackle and didnt even have to lift a finger. Instead of purchasing the Louis Vutton gown, her family decided upon the nine thousand dollar Chanel outfit After cussing out the body guards for letting the social rejects in, her celebration had further begun She had pulled up to the most popular nighttime club in the metropolis (her family managed to rent for the night) in a Cinderella carriage for an unforgettable entrance. According to her, hoi polloi would be talking about this party for the rest of their lives. Her get-together, complete with bouncers, go-go dancers, announcers, magicians, whang dancers, and caterers running frantically in and out of the crowd, pleasing her every requisite seemed extraordinarily unrealistic. Remarkably, the only time we heard from Sophie was during her ridiculous tantrums, complete with luxuriant whining about everything that went amiss. Neither recognition nor thanks had been directed to her parents the entire night In fact, her whole demeanor conveyed entitlement. My Super Sweet Sixteen is a new hit series highlighting various teenagers on their topnotch sweet sixteenth birthdays. Unbelievably, these families were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars toward these astonishing celebrations. It was quite amusing, yet around disturbing watching todays youth lavishing in their conspicuous consumption. After some serious consideration, I realized that this alluring lifestyle, though appealing, was shallow, degrading, and a disgrace to club as a whole. Upon further self-reflection, I had to admit that I myself have been enticed by these materialistic desires. Yet, these extravagances were far more detrimental than desirable. I experienced an epiphany, at that very moment. Wher e was our appreciation? Where was our gratitude? Our graciousness had disappeared, replaced instead by indulgence, greed, and selfishness. The lack of appreciation and thankfulness is appalling Nowadays, it seems that society hands everything to our youth without question.
