Act of Resistance

For my act of resistance, i decided to use chalk drawing to get my point across. i used this method because i've seen it before (on the college campus, cause i live real close by) and i know that a lot of people will see it simply because they will walk over it, and since a lot of people look at the ground, they will at least get a glimpse that will spark their interest to take time to read it. now sadly, i made it, and then it started snowing, so i don't actually think a lot of people saw it since 1) not many people probably went out, 2) the snow melted and made the ground wet, 3) then the snow stayed and everything is covered in snow so you can't see it.

but anyways, my act of resistance was one against consumerism. Consumerism has taken over our country and, i believe, it is a big cause for the lack of empathy and humanity in people. With people's whole focus on goods and the next big thing, they become selfish and forget the true morals and thoughts that we should live by. Consumerism causes selfishness and disinterest in the well being of anyone other than yourself or someone you care about. it also prevents us from taking steps that can improve our economy and quality of life. So i hope to raise awareness about the effects of consumerism on this country and people, and though i don't expect consumerism to stop (obviously) i want people to realize the harm that consumerism can cause, and i want them to be more aware of it and change to make the effects of consumerism not as damaging.
