University Students' Pursuit of Famous Brands
University Students' Pursuit of Famous Brands
Nowadays, it's quite common to hear and see college students talking about the brands they like and the products they use. In fact, discussions about brand names have become one of the college students' favorite pastimes. They learn about the latest fashion from each other, exchange tips about when and where to get the item, and buy it at their earliest convenience.
About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show their disapproval. They'll probably take it to be a reflection of the students' vanity and superficiality. And they may lecture them on the virtue of being thrifty.
However, I beg to differ. For one thing, name-brand products are usually quality products. After all, they are something beautiful, endurable, and reliable. "The love of beauty is common to all," goes the proverb; therefore, there's nothing to blame about the pursuit of famous brands. For the other, college students are old enough to make their own decisions. Likewise, they must abide by the consequences if they make an ill-advised one. If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep everything in moderation. So this becomes no other than a good chance to learn management,isn't it?
