“In the words of Kendrick Lamar (popular rapper of the good kid, m.a.a.d city fame), ‘If you get your first big cheque and you cop before you buy a house. You’re a vanity slave.’ In the song, Vanity Slave, Mr. Lamar speaks openly about mindless consumerism. Explain three dangers of consumerism,” read the question.
