Is Less More?
Discuss materialism with the student(s). Is being materialistic the same as being superficial? Do the two go hand in hand? Encourage them to think about the value they place on material possessions, ask them whether they think they give too much importance to 'things' and not enough to experiences and feelings. Ask how they think this may have changed for their generation compared to the last. Discuss how much of a factor upbringing and surroundings can play on whether or not a person is materialistic.
