Despite the course of the years we still live in a society where people revere the luxuries and wealth of others. As we can see in chapter # 3 of John Berger, people used oil paintings to show their wealth, power and greatness. Berger say “the paintings themselves were simple demonstrations of what gold and money could buy” this shows to me that, oil paintings were used to demonstrate their grandiosity. Nowadays people use social media to demonstrate the same thing as several centuries ago. In conclusion, no matter what method of communication is, the human being will always want to demonstrate his superiority to the rest, thanks to this video I realize that people are more materialistic than I thought, we want more than what we have, and this is not going to change until the end of our existence.
