. Morrie says, "There's a big confusion in this country over what we want versus what we need…you know what really gives you satisfaction? Offering others what you have to give." (p. 126 in the actual novel) Morrie is quite critical of the cultural emphasis on consumption and wealth. How do you respond to his thoughts about our culture?

That Morrie is correct, people should not focus on consumption, instead, they should focus on personal experiences.

Explanation:

the reasons behind my posture ar three. The first one, consumption is like hunger but it doesn't help you reach happiness. You feel it, you get used to satisfying that desire, but it never ends. Second, people have overvalued consumption and monetary wealth instead of emotional wealth. Third. happiness is reached after we have accomplished our goals, people should set their goals based on development, and achievement of personally meaningful goals, instead of monetary goals. As monetary goals are empty and not related to emotions.
