Childhood and Consumerism The essay title that I have chosen to write about under the title of ‘making the familiar strange’ is Childhood and Consumerism. One concept that is greatly important within this topic is “Consumer Capitalism”. This relates to the huge desire and ‘need’ that consumers have to have the latest gadgets, fashions, technologies among others.
