SOFIA GUEVARA 17/05/2012 ===Accumulation is an addiction and the reptalian brain is the one responsible for that conflict because the reptailian brain wants popularity, hierarchy and attacts when he is ofended( it is based on what you feel, like and think). So when a kid sees a friend with something better than what they have they will do different things:=== By objects that they dont need By being a bad student, THE LAST OPTION IS TO BUY IT, then the kid who has the gadget would feel better than others so he would continue buying things to feel important. but you dont only start being and accumulator because of what you feel, life and think but also because of the peer pressure. And it is a very big conflict.When you have already bought the stuff you should give away your stuff but if you dont well thats how you know that you are an accumulator. To stop being an accumulator you bacecly need to stop buying unnecesary things and give away the ones that you already have, but kids can not do this a lone because to stop the problem you need to do it with your human brain but kids do not have a well developed brain to stop doing it so they need help of their parents. The parents must be a role model for the kids to follow and must teach them to start reflection on the gadget: Do I realy need this? ... and also stop buying things to them because they are the ones who control the money that means that if they dont buy gadgets to theyr kids the kids so this means that it is responsibility of the parents to make them stop. There is something realy important about parents parents buy gadgets to their kids because:
 * attac:
 * or defend
 * 1) They feel guilty of not being with them so they try to fix it by buying toys to them.
 * 2) They give their love to them buy a toy but it is a terible mistake because they tought them to feel loved when they have a gadget do know when they dont feel loved they will buy a gadgetrather than look for someone to help you.
 * 3) The parents also feel better than other persons because they can say "oh look I bought an IPAD to my son" and that makes them look like a person that likes their children a lot and that have a lot of money so they feel superior.

And it does so automatically directs body functions.when People act wanting to accumulate they are acting with their reptilian brain. This is an addiction. And that means that it acts like a reptile, not as a human. Then comes the limbic brain is the emotional • Brain reptilian hierarchy. That having is better than the others. The attacks or flees it will react to not panic. He is very fast acting, measures and responds to danger. • The mammal brain: they are all structures and emotions. He will support learning. • The prefrontal cortex or human: analysis thinking, reasoning the ability to curb impulses. Measuring consequences.

= = = Valentina Corzo 07/05/2012 = =About form i know that the competition betwen peers is a way of accepting others in the groups or maybe it shows how popular you are. I know that this is a cycle and it repeats and repeats each time a friends gets a new thing the rest feel they are in the obligation to get it as well, wich offcourse it is not true. I also know that this problem happens becouse the parents allow that and buy the gadget or toy that the kid or teenager want becouse they don't want to look like bad parents or listen to their kids cry.=

well, its starts when someone (KIDS) want to be included in a social group or be with someone, or maybe just for having the same things, kids start buying gadgets the dont really need, they use it for some minutes or even seconds and then throw them away when they dont like it more, but they stell want to keep it for their friends get an imprecion about them when they see all that cool stuff they have in their room.when akid starts doing that their personality start changing in a negative way like: they start being false people kids/teenagers start treating bad parents because the people kids pass time can influence they stop doing things they like to do because popular people dont like to

This is a conflict some people don't even know it exists, but really it has connection with lots of things. It affects our attitude our way of treating people, our way of managing money and lots of jealousy. there are lots of questions we can ask about this topic. our topic is Competition among Peers, as I already said it has connection with lots of things, bullying, peer preassure etc; but we are focusing in accumulators. this affects economy and all the other things i wrote above.

I know that it is a problem that almost all people have because they desier to have a lot of gadgets and dont even realize that it is a proble, i think most of the people feel happy because they feel superior.
