why the people like shopping?

because shopping you can your like things.

你個賤狗！！！
本人對自問自答狗絕不留情！！！

最巷0既
- materialistic
- lack of sense of security

in my opinion, people like to shop because they can help them to satisfy their wants and of course needs as well.

1st of all, we can devide to 3 types of shopping:
a) shop to satisfy the needs of human
b) shop to satisfy the wants of human
c) window shopping.

a) shop to satisfy the needs of human
As you know that 衣，食，住 is the basic needs of human beings.
Thus, of course we will shop for the needs to satisfy ourselves.
So I believe this is very normal.

b) Shop to satisfy humans' wants.
Ah.... this is an interesting topic.
Because sometimes i also wonder what is the real purpose of people shop/ buy so many unnecessary goods. Especially women....
Do we really need it or we just want it to show off?
Guess 人本来就有很强的虚荣心。

c) Window shopping
In my opinion, people do window shopping just have 3 reasons:
1) to pass some time
2) observe and want to know the latest trends
3）not enough money but able to "see" the products we love also feel satisfy.

Anyway, this is all my opinion. 无根据！
