What is the modern consumption relationship and what is the difference with the traditional consumption relationship?

1. From the perspective of the whole consumption structure, people's consumption concept has changed from traditional consumption items such as food and clothing-oriented consumption to a new field of enjoyment consumption that pursues quality of life, mainly including the demand for automobiles, housing, tourism, entertainment, culture and education.

2. Consumption is the basic condition of human existence, the instinctive behavior of human beings and an important part of human social and economic activities. Consumption is divided into production consumption and life consumption. Production and consumption refer to the consumption of labor tools, raw materials and fuels. In the process of labor, a new product is produced. Living consumption refers to the consumption of living materials by human beings for survival and development, as well as their own reproduction. According to the main body of consumer demand, living consumption is divided into personal consumption and social public consumption, among which consumption is usually called personal consumption, and the content of personal consumption includes material consumption and spiritual and cultural consumption. Consumption of food, clothing, housing and transportation belongs to material consumption, and consumption behaviors such as cultural, educational, recreational, artistic appreciation, holiday travel and service enjoyment belong to spiritual and cultural consumption.

3. Consumption view is the concrete embodiment of people's values in consumption activities, is an integral part of values, and is an idea that consumers use a value judgment to measure things and guide consumption. Values are a person's overall evaluation and view of the significance and importance of the surrounding objective things (including people, things and events), and also a part of a person's ideological system. With the change of the whole social and economic system, the change of personal economic status will change values and consumption views. Consumption view belongs to the category of social consciousness, and it is a relatively systematic and stable view of economic life phenomena such as market, currency and consumption. With the growth of age, people's consumption concept is gradually formed, which is influenced by non-economic factors such as family, social environment, national culture and personal quality, and is an integral part of world outlook and outlook on life. The concept of consumption is constantly changing with the development of economy and the improvement of income level.
