Abstract: The path of nowadays society brings to our attention a subject of global concern, more specifically, a new method of human dissolution. Using statistical analysis, we now know that the individual is enslaved by cravings and excessive desire to consume, and this state of affairs led to the disappearance of the transcendent sense. Thus, he falls forever captive to a set of pleasures.
