Paper Title
How Consumerism Is Consuming US

Abstract
Rising debt and a disintegrating quality of health has become two of the greatest issues plaguing American citizens. With the majority of the population in debt, and more than a third of the population battling obesity, Americans continue to struggle with solutions because there are no seemingly clear, or obvious causes. However through closer examination. We see that perhaps consumerism and marketing as a lifestyle and cultural norm, as well as being integral to our economy may be the silent but powerful contributor to these issues. This paper will attempt to undercover and discern possible links between national issues such as debt and health, and our current consumerism lifestyle.
