Commercialism/Consumerism/Social Commentary

Commercialism is selling something for the purpose of making money. Consumerism is supporting commercialism by spending money on it.
Commercialism is running a coffee shop, selling television, advertisement, etc. Consumerism is supporting these things such as by buying coffee, purchasing television programs, or by simply watching a commercial. Commercialism affects me greatly. Almost everything I own comes from commercialism. If it weren't for commercialism, life would be dull and simple. Consumerism applies the same way commercialism. If I didn't take part in consumerism, I wouldn't have the luxuries such as television, phones, games, etc.
Social Comment is going against the society. Examples of social comment is rebellion like rebellion of factory workers, or by simply refusing to take part in consumerism by not buying products.
Headlines that most affect me:
