The multinational corporations spend large amounts of money to create and transmit messages to align people as potential consumers of the brands that represent their products, they have become responsible for the consumer generation culture, quite irrational, but simply can not stop. This practice consumerist, sometimes shows a mask that hides the true financial position of a country, and what is worse, the real levels of prosperity of a society, generating strong economic distortions, where the welfare of future generations is sacrificed for media unplanned consumption that has strong externalities and high risk of unsustainability.
