VIDEO:  Mindless Consumerism (Film Your Issue)
 
 
My name is Melike Turgut, I'm 18, and I'm currently attending Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. In my video, my nominal subject is lipsticks and makeup but really, what I'm getting at is how mindlessly we spend money on things we don't need and sometimes we don't even care if the product we purchase is good or bad for us because we are so easily deceived or tricked with the abstract concepts put on products such as "love " and "desirable".
