Next November 27 Black Friday is celebrated. Here in Spain this consumer tradition is not well established but in United Estates It's an excuse to buy wildly and uncontrollably. There, during that day all big department stores and stores impose very high discounts to their products. For customers, these discounts represent an enormous claim. They come to the shops hours before the opening making huge queues at the doors of the shops to get the best discounts.
Once started Black Friday, women and men throw out under the most lowered products, under the bargains, fights arise to achieve this desired product, the store turned upside down, people are stampeded on... It is a spectacle that proves that the human species can sometimes be quite ridiculous.
With this video you can make a slight idea ...
It really Black Friday is a very good and brilliant marketing idea. Get wonderful discounts near christmas mobilize thousands (no exaggeration) in front of the doors of big department stores and these buy and consume endlessly has much merit.
But Black Friday also shows how degrading it can become consumerism and the desire to buy unnecessary things. As someone can step on a person and pass over him just to get a lowered television seems pathetic and makes me rethink the limits of our stupidity.
