Read opinions of Sophie and Alex about Brands


Sophie

Sophie is a project manager who is obsessed with brands. For her, wearing famous labels like Nike, Gucci, or Louis Vuitton is not just about clothes, but about identity. She believes that a brand represents quality, style, and social status. When she wears branded clothes, she feels more confident and respected. For Sophie, brands are more than material objects; they are symbols of success and personal expression. She loves the idea that a logo or a slogan can communicate a lifestyle.



Alex

Alex, on the other hand, has a completely different perspective. He does not care about brands or material possessions. For him, clothes and objects only need to be practical, comfortable, and durable. He believes that personality, kindness, and intelligence are more important than the label on a shirt or a pair of shoes. Instead of spending money on luxury brands, Alex prefers to invest in experiences such as traveling, reading, or spending time with friends. He thinks happiness is not connected to logos but to meaningful moments in life.

Debate : Do brands create happiness or just illusions?

In my opinion, brands only give people short-term happiness. When you buy a famous brand, like a new pair of shoes or a bag, you feel excited and happy at first. You enjoy showing it to your friends or just owning it. However, this happiness does not last long. Soon, you start looking for something new, or you compare your things with other brands or products. This creates a feeling of wanting more and more.Because of this, I think the happiness from brands is only an illusion.It makes you feel good for a short time, but it does not create real or lasting happiness. True happiness comes from experiences, relationships, and personal satisfaction, not from products or logos.
