Summary

This quote suggests that consumerism promotes values that are detrimental to family life. Consumerism tends to prioritize instant gratification and material possessions over long-term commitment and loyalty. By constantly encouraging individuals to pursue the next new thing, consumerism undermines the values of permanence and loyalty within families. This can lead to a lack of stability and weakened relationships, as the focus shifts towards acquiring goods rather than fostering strong familial bonds.
