Summary : While the father is at work trying to pay off the interest on his credit card debts, the mother is at home in front of the television watching the shopping channel.

The son of the house is in the back room, having finished the day's lectures at the virtual university, surfing virtual shopping sites.

"Where are we going to spend our weekend vacation, Mom?" he calls out.

"We'll go to the big mall outside the city.We'll go in and out of the shops with your father, visit the aquarium section, and then meet at the rainforest-themed restaurant for a bite to eat." Satisfied with the answer, she adds the new CD to her virtual shopping list.

We live in an age of hyper-consumption and simulation.Not only are we surrounded by huge shopping malls competing with each other to be entertaining, but museums, parks, universities, stadiums, airports and railway stations have also been transformed into entertainment and shopping centers with their shops, shopping stands and fast-food restaurants: In many parts of the world, especially in the USA, we shop in chains of stores offering the same products, eat the same hamburgers as in New York or Moscow, and even hear the same words from cashiers with the same facial expressions.We shop, have fun and eat in virtual environments where everything is simulated

as Baudrillard says, everything is intertwined, borders have disappeared

entertainment, shopping, sports, education have turned into a giant spectacle.In The McDonaldization of Society, Ritzer revealed the monotony imposed on our lives by the modern rationalization process

a McSociety that resembles an assembly line with McFood, McBeds, McDoctors, McAuto mechanics. In Enchanting the Disenchanting World, he explores how those who control the means of consumption re-enchant the world by making it "fun" in order to fuel endless consumption.In doing so, he draws on Marx's means of production

Weber's rationalization, enchantment and disenchantment

and Baudrillard's simulation.

It seems that the frenzy of consumption will never stop

but will we be able to put a stop to Americanization and return to nature, to relationships not compressed by time and space, to authenticity?
