There are many varied reasons... and sometimes you should Not change...
Dien,
Thanks for the "bolster their identity" thing. While that may be true - they buy to Bolster Their Identity - have you thought WHO they are bolstering it for? Sad fact is, Many people do things not for themselves - but - for how they think it will make other people think of them. For other people. The bag thing is interesting... => Some will buy so in their head... others will think well of them for being Environmentally Conscious. => Some will buy them because they are Stronger than plastic bags and less chance of the bag spilling the contents onto the ground. => Some will buy them because it partly hides the contents of their shopping so others in the shopping center cannot see what they bought. => Some will buy because they are fed up dealing with plastic bags at home - which trash can do they go in, is there a recycle thing at the supermarket where they can be dropped back off. => Some will Not buy because of the hassle of taking a bag with you and the hassle of filling it at the checkout - dang takes too long. => Some will Not buy because of who makes them - if they know a certain Green Group makes them and they don't support that group, they don't buy them - but - will use an empty pillow case as an alternative. => And some will buy them because they have no choice - stores like Bunnings and Aldi do not Give you bags. Bring your own or buy one from the store. And those stores are Packed with people. Now to Tim's question... Quote:
Yes. Providing, They are the ones that want to do it and it isn't being done For other people or Because of other people. For example... you subscribe to the idea of driving around in a 3 mile to the gallon v8 with baby seal seat-covers sucking down Pounder Burgers that come in non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers. But then you meet a lovely girl who is a tree hugging animal loving vegan who Suggests you should change your ways. Now you're doing it For someone else. There is Internal Resistance there. Misery is created. It has to be For you for Your Own Reasons - not for how you Think others will think of you. Michael Ross |
