Buddhism, Consumerism, Environmental Crisis And War

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Benevolence, tolerance and simplicity reflect the primary tenets of Buddhism, a collective provenance that stands in direct opposition to the Western world's conspicuous consumption, greed and narrow-mindedness. The extent to which Western culture is fixated upon materialism and the overwhelming desire to possess objects of perceived value is both grand and far-reaching; that such exploitation breeds artificial satisfaction through the acquisition of more things speaks to the imbalance of American ideals and disconnection to the self. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
