commercialism
Commercialism refers to the emphasis on profit and the promotion of goods and services in a market economy. It involves businesses prioritizing sales and marketing strategies to attract consumers, often leading to the commercialization of various aspects of life, including culture and entertainment. This focus on profit can influence how products are developed and marketed.
In a commercialized environment, consumer behavior is shaped by advertising and branding, which can create demand for products. This can be seen in industries like fashion, technology, and media, where companies strive to maximize their reach and profitability, sometimes at the expense of quality or ethical considerations.
