Answer:

consumerism

Explanation:

consumerism refers to the theory that spending money and consuming goods is good for the economy. Opponents of consumerism suggest simple living is a more sustainable lifestyle and better for the environment.

For an economy in surplus, consumerism is important because it creates demand. Consumers are constantly chasing trends and fashion for the satisfaction of buying an object of desire. This leads to higher consumption as people do not want to be seen with outdated goods.

Although consumerism drives economic growth and boosts innovation, it comes with a fair share of problems ranging from environmental and moral degradation to higher debt levels and mental health problems.

What was a result of the supreme court's plessy v. Ferguson decision? Public education became more expensive for southern states
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The verdict of the Plessy v. Ferguson case was that "separate but equal" laws were justified or allowed to exist.  This basically meant that states had the right to keep blacks and whites separate at separate facilities as long as they were equal.  

Unfortunately, the separate facilities were not equal for blacks and there was terrible treatment and equality for a long time in American history throughout the 20th century.

When the Civil Rights Movement became more popular in the 1950s, decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson were overturned, allowing blacks and whites to go to the same schools.  This started with the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, and other schools began to integrate after this important case.  

There were still issues with people being treated equally, even though it became the law to treat people equally.  With the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this outlawed all segregation in public places, so there would be no more segregation at restaurants, movie theaters, etc.  

Some states tried to block this integration with their own ways and laws and in some places, things turned violent with race riots.  

Even though places were being integrated at a faster pace, it was difficult for some people to accept the views of everyone being equal.
