The purpose of my essay is to study and analyse how adolescents with different socioeconomical backgrounds experience their consumtion needs.

There are five main questions:

2. In what way does adolescents experience influences over their consumtion options?

3. How do adolescents look upon their own material status?

4. On which lifefield do adolescents think it is more important to have their needs satisfied?

5. What essential similarities/differences are there considering experience of absolute needs and relative needs respectively between adolescents with different socioeconomic backgrounds?

As a method for my investigation I chose to examine my purpose by using some theoretical perspectives and at the same time by using a questionnaire mainly composed by qualitative questions.

The results of my investigation showed that there are not any big differences between how adolescents experience their needs of status symbols or labeled clothes. At the same time results show that the majority of the adolescents don't experience any influences upon their consumtion options. In the matter of material status the majority of the adolescents are satisfied. The most important lifefields for the majority of the adolescens are: the money aspect, school education and the social life. Aspects as money, school education, social life and housing area constitute the main essential differences, while the rest of the adolescents' needs constitute similarities between them. (Less)
