Consumerism in Tucuman




I would like to talk about consumerism in our city, I tried to comment in andrea's post but i cuoldn't. A perfect example of my topic is this new shopping, "El Portal" situated in Yerba Buena.

From my point of view, I really don't know in what was thinking about the man responsable of this big poyect, buecause we can see that the results are not good. After carring out any proyect, it's sopused to done a deep investigation of the place, the people and the characteristics of the city, so that when you finally decided to carry out the proyect, the consequences don't be negatives like in this case. I consider that Tucuman is not a city whith consumerism characteristics. It's true that "el portal" it's full of poeple during night and day everyday, but that didn't mean that the people go there to consume buying clothe, food or athor things, most of them go to the shopping as turists, to have fun and as this is something new in our city and everybody like the things that are new..they go there only to do something diferent from the daily rutine.
Now, a new proyect whith the same characteristics it's carried out in Av. Aconquija y Anzorena...hope that the results being diferents and that some day we grow up.

Do you really think Tucuman is NOT a consummerist society???? There is a difference between "consumerism" as such and "high standards of living" that allow consumption at certain levels, I mean being able to afford what the market has to offer.
Think about it, I would like to see your views.
