It works when a kid start to compite with his friends for who has more toys, cellphones and more, maybe because they feel lonley or for other many reasons like he or she is depressed.
== This is very weird in kids you may be asking your selves, but that is not true, kids are the ones that want to compite more and more because they dont think this is a problem, they dont see it from that way they just care about being popular or being in social groups, that are the most popular and most common reasons of how it really works. ==

Also because the 3 parts of the brain brains. ( THE MAMMAL BRAIN THE REPTIL BRAIN AND THE CORTEX FRONTAL ) each one has a device work.
== Mammal Brain: His role is to do everything that has to do with the emotions of the persons. In this case of accumulation is the one who search the plessure and this brain finds pleasure at buying things and having more and more each time. ==

== Reptilian brain: Formed by brain stem and cerebellum. It cares about the hierarchies = I AM BETTER THAN YOU. It makes you attack or run away if you feel in any danger, (RESPOND IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GENERATES YOU GO OUT RUNNING, IT ACTS VERY FAST). Its Delay is acting in 125 milliseconds in less than a second it measures when your life is in danger and it responds how to do it.This has to do with the topic because when you are competing you are using this part of your brain because this is the way of representing hierarchy, it makes the brain FEEL POWERFUL AND ACCEPTED. ==

== Frontal Cortex:This brain is the one who allows you to think and analyse things, it controls the emotions, It measures if and action that you will do can hurt you. This has to do with this competitions because this is the brain that needs to help kids to think: DO I REALLY NEED ALL THIS STUFF. Parents need to help their children to exercise this brain so they can think better specially about their actions. == = = = Franchesca Cobo 17/05/12 =

= = From: Article and from a Story = =[]= ==One of the most important reasons of why kids start to participate on this competition it is becouse they feel loneley. Sometimes their parents have to work so much and do not spend time with their kids so they pass their whole time only working. They want to get the attention of their parents so they start asking them things, it is all by claiming them attention!! They want them to be with them!!==

So sometimes the only thing the kids has of their parents is the toys and gadgets they give to them!‍

weel, many people ( KIDS ) have strat to accumulate things/gadgets to compite with peer because they want to be like them or they want to be better than them.
==also it has to do with ( BEING POPULAR OR NOTBEINGPOPULAR ), popularity has been a big conflict because it is bad to divide people into groups ( POPULAR OR NOT POPULAR ) and mos of the times unpopular people are much better than popular, some times when peopledecide who is popular and who is not, some people ( NOT POPULAR ) feel bad.==

In some cases there have been problems with people who are excluded from groups have scicologic problems and start doing crazy things.

In our brain we have 3 parts of it. The mammal brain, reptile brain and the frontal cortex. Each of them has a special function this is more or less like this:
===Mammal Brain: His role is to do everything that has to do with the emotions of the persons. In this case of accumulation is the one who search the plessure and this brain finds pleasure at buying things and having more and more each time.=== ===Reptilian brain: Formed by brain stem and cerebellum. It cares about the hierarchies = I AM BETTER THAN YOU. It makes you attack or run away if you feel in any danger, (RESPOND IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GENERATES YOU GO OUT RUNNING, IT ACTS VERY FAST). Its Delay is acting in 125 milliseconds in less than a second it measures when your life is in danger and it responds how to do it.This has to do with the topic because when you are competing you are using this part of your brain because this is the way of representing hierarchy, it makes the brain FEEL POWERFUL AND ACCEPTED.=== ===Frontal Cortex:This brain is the one who allows you to think and analyse things, it controls the emotions, It measures if and action that you will do can hurt you. This has to do with this competitions because this is the brain that needs to help kids to think: DO I REALLY NEED ALL THIS STUFF.

===well i know that you get to be an ccumulator because of many different things such as: * competition between peers * desier * want to be cool * influence and a lot wore but ill tell you about competition between peers: You start doing it because you see your friends stuff and you want to have it maybe because you wnat to (desire) or maybe to be accepted. And they will start to buy a lot of things even if they dont need it they just want it. I believe that if you knew that it is a problem you wouldent do it but gess what, people have no idea about it!===

=Valentina C: 07/05/2012= =I think that people get to the point of the accumulation becouse the problem OF COMPETITION, the nesesity of being accepted in groups and being thought as a popular kid makes people start to buy so many thigs that their house will be full of toys and gadgets and then they just don't give it away. About all this i have a little question wich is:= = =
 * =Why it is so important to do this?=
 * =Why people want to fit in in gorups or being thought as a popular kids?=

=FRANCHESCA COBO 07/05/12= =I THINK PEOPLE GET TO THE POINT OF COMPETING WITH PEERS BECAUSE...=
 * MAYBE THEY WANT TO BETTER THAN THEM
 * THEY WANT TO HAVE COOLER STUFF

=THIS ARE ONE OF THE MAIN REASON OF WHY DOES PEOPLE GET TO THE POINT OF ACCUMULATIN-COMPITE WITH PEERS.=
 * THEY THINK PEOPLE WILL GET A BAD IMPRECION OF THEM IF HE DOES NOT HAS SO MANY COOL STUFF
