• Paragraph 3: it is a negative development (1) companies encourage us to spend money on designer goods and buy happiness (2) socially, designer products are desirable items to steal – a lot of street crime is to rob people of their cell phones
• Conclusion:  we can identify reasons, but the development is completely negative
