Consumption in the contemporary society has been seen as a complex activity, and the psychological and sociological thinking about it has been intensively researched. This paper aims to discuss some of the various relationships between consumption, culture and society, through a reflection on the individual and the social dimension of consumption and consumption as compulsive disorder, as well. In order to achieve this goal, many conceptual perspectives will be used, in order to present a broad picture of the discussions on the subject in psychology, sociology, anthropology, and, from this broader context, one can categorize the social dimensions of consumption, their characteristics and the ways in which they are seen in society.Downloads
