The Story of Stuff will take you on a provocative tour of the consumer-driven culture in the US and the increasing consumerism and materialism in the rest of the world - from resource extraction to iPod incineration - exposing the real costs of our use-it and lose-it approach to stuff. -- ISLAM is against materialism because it results in social injustice and oppression. But also because Islam wants to nurture the inner spirituality and other potential noble qualities in human beings - and materialism - that is the slavery of this world - takes them in exactly the opposite direction. Often non-religious movements choose to resist materialism because of its consequences on society - that is they resist materialism for instrumental - means to ends - reasons. Islam however places importance on simplicity and modesty because they are valuable in themselves for human perfection. Hence even if the world becomes full of resources and everyone has more than what he or she needs Islam would still stress on simplicity and modesty in the lifestyles and pursuits of its followers. With its ideals of human perfection and emphasis on the eternal life in the hereafter Islam provides a powerful rational and emotional stimulus for individuals to abstain from materialism and channel their self-interest into attaining lofty human ideals and qualities. For more on this see Shaheed Mutahhari-s following works available on al-islam.org - a. Spiritual Discourses b. Perfect Man.

Why is it so hard to rise above their selfish needs and desires? Many people that do understand the consequences of consumerism do not always do anything substantial to resist it because often they themselves are deep into materialism in one way or another. Some of these people may hate Bill Gates and Donald Trump but at the same time they want to become rich and famous like these two. That is true for people in the West and the East. Materialism that was a result of a specific historical experience of the so called Modernity is the West is pretty much a global phenomenon today. Thanks to corporatization in the name of globalization! Consumerism is but one facet of the larger phenomenon of materialism. Simple quantitative changes in our lifestyle would not do much. What we need is a fundamental qualitative change in our lives and in our societies. ---- In the clip one of the organizers of the world-wide Buy-Nothing-Day Kalle Lasn was interviewed by a CNN anchor in one of the previous years. ----

A lecture by CA M.R. Venkatesh in India. Notice that this lecture was uploaded on googlevideo on 10 Feb 2008. The Economist cover that he refers to was published in Jan 2008. This is a very insightful and interesting lecture. Worth a consideration even if you do not agree with all what he says. --- By encouraging LOCAL CONSUMPTION I think he means developing a locally sustainable economy with a savings culture and responsible consumption.--- The point about the connection between family and consumerism may have been loosely argued in the lecture but it is not totally baseless. If considered in the broader context of the rise of individualism and materialism in America it makes sense. Individualism seeks identity. Materialism suggests finding that in competitive consumption of material goods. Hence the idea of shopping for identity - what you consume and how much you own define you.--- Also see Story of Stuff and Confessions of an Economic Hitman videos on this site.

Look forward to watching this. From the trailer it seems that the argument is not a nostalgia for the past. It is deeper. I liked the fact that the documentary seeks to bring in the larger historical and social context in the picture. Compare that to documentaries like Consuming Kids that focus mostly on hyper-consumerism. Hyper-consumerism I believe is a manifestation of something much larger and deeply pervasive what may be referred to as MATERIALISM. Now how to define and trace the source of materialism are challenging questions. The documentary seems inclined on the rise of capitalism. But it does hint toward renaissance and the transformation in cultural outlook. Would be interested to see how material and cultural are combined in the narrative of this book and movie.

Trump OR Biden, The Islamic Republic\'s Policy Won\'t Change | Imam Khamenei | Farsi Sub English

The Leader of the Muslim Ummah, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei invites us all to realize that changing a politician\'s face won\'t make a change to anything. The SYSTEM is the real issue.
The policy of the camp of Resistance will stay consistent and based on Islamic principles. It doesn’t matter who gets voted in and elected. It won\'t effect us.
The entire arrogance based system is the issue. The entire ruthless and oppressive system is the issue. The entire hegemonic system based on materialism is the issue.
This system of arrogance is approaching its demise - especially in three areas, namely, political, civic, ethics. The fall of the empire is obvious.

Salutations upon Husayn, upon Ali ibn Husayn, upon the children of Husayn, and upon the companions of Husayn.
As the day of Arbaeen approaches us, we fondly remember the memories of walking among the pilgrims of Imam Husayn (A), searching for our true selves that have been lost among the dunes of materialism.
But is the Master of Martyrs, Imam Husayn (A) limited to a shrine in the city of Karbala?
And what is the importance of the \'Alam, the Nauhas, and the mourning conducted for this Master of Martyrs, Imam Husayn (A)?
The founding father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, explains.

Who are a few of the well-known companions and students of Imam al-Baqir (A)?
How many traditions did some of these faithful companions of Imam al-Baqir (A) relate from him?
What was Imam al-Baqir\\\'s Jihade Tabyiin?
And did this Jihade Tabyiin end with Imam al-Baqir (A)?
Who all had a hand in the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (A)?
And finally, what does Imam al-Baqir (A) say about the one who craves and desires this materialistic world?

Did you know that \"You Have To Spend Money, To Make Money\"?
Well, under the capitalist-materialist dominated world that we live in, it doesn\'t make sense.

So, before we explain, a very special congratulations to you all on the birth anniversary of the 10th divinely appointed Imam, Imam Ali ibn Muhammad al-Naqi al-Hadi (A).
So what should you spend your hard-earned money on, if you want to make some easy money?
And, Who has given you all the blessings that you have, included your so-called hard-earned money?
And ultimately, Who is it that gives you some good ole\' fashioned easy money?
What do you have to do in order to keep the blessings that the Almighty Allah has provided you with?
And why is it that the people\'s needs become great towards you?
What does the 10th divinely appointed Imam, Imam Ali ibn Muhammad al-Naqi al-Hadi (A) have to say about this little one minute discussion of ours?
And finally, what do we truly mean by saying \"You Have To Spend Money, To Make Money\"?
Well, Sayyid Shahryar answers in this One Minute Wisdom Special using the wise words of the 10th divinely appointed Imam, Imam Ali ibn Muhammad al-Naqi al-Hadi (A), as we celebrate the birth anniversary of his eminence Imam Ali al-Naqi (A).
And remember to believe in the divine reality that \"You Have To Spend Money, To Make Money\"; and stop listening to the capitalist-materialist people, because they\'re only out to make money by snatching your money, wherever you are.

How Does Arbaeen Promote A Divine Lifestyle? | IP Talk Show | English
Our condolences to all the believers, all across the world, wherever they are, upon the holy months of Muharram and Safar.

Our condolences to all the believers, all across the world, wherever they are, upon the holy months of Muharram and Safar.
This year, countless millions across the world once again proudly commemorated the mission of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (A) and most eagerly mourned over the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A), and his family members and companions who accompanied his eminence into the divine hands of martyrdom as they stood up for Truth and Justice against the overwhelming forces of evil and falsehood.
And this year, once again, millions of people will gather around the pivot of Imam Husayn (A) on the Day of Arbaeen, commemorating the 40th day after his martyrdom.
Yet, what are some inherent attributes of the western systems prevalent across the world in the present-day?
Is there truly objectivity in journalism in the western world, especially when we see that for many years there was a media blackout as regards to the Arbaeen procession?
How does the Arbaeen procession break the preconceived imposed notions of individualism and materialism?
And are the so-called virtues promoted by western civilization based upon a moral and ethical duty or a mere self-centric personal gain?
Via what means do the Arrogant Powers try to create anti-ethical attributes in the society?
And on the other hand, what are some of the values that are promoted in the Husayni narrative?
Is there a manifestation of the Truth where it exists objectively?
What is one of the hallmarks of materialism?
And what does it mean that your identity is based upon your consumption when in the sphere of materialism?
And what does it mean that people become hollow once God is taken out of society; and subsequently, what is placed in that hollow vessel by the Taghut powers?
And what must the Taghut powers of the world do if they want to enslave humanity in order to maximize their self-interest profit and gain, which most surely comes at the expense of the common masses?
How does the Arbaeen procession in ode of Imam Husayn (A) break the aforementioned demonic spell of the global Taghut powers?
And with all this in mind, how does the Arbaeen procession commemorating the mission and martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A) promote a divine lifestyle that we can all follow?
In order to answer these questions and more, we humbly invited Sayyid Agha Ali Raza from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to help explain and answer for us, \\\"How Does Arbaeen Promote A Divine Lifestyle?\\\"
Salutations be upon Husayn!
Salutations be upon Ali ibne Husayn!
Salutations be upon the children of Husayn!
Salutations be upon the companions of Husayn!

HOPE: A Timeless Encounter | French Sub English

In this new analysis, Sheikh Jamel Tahiri comes back to the prime number 19, which is the number on which the Book of God, the Quran, is based. God has locked his word in the Book with the number 19, which proves its heavenly origin.
He also returns to the term \"salam\", peace, which is the greeting of the Prophets and people who aspire to God. Peace through language but also inner peace. This peace is the reconciliation of man with his two realities, the physical reality and the inner or spiritual reality.
Finally, he returns to the subject of the 5 physical senses and the 5 spiritual senses. The 5 spiritual senses are the senses of the heart and it is with them that man will be able to govern his being and achieve inner peace.
The world in which we live is built in such a way that people rely on materialism. Materialism is bound to disappear. Whereas in our inner reality, there is an eternity. Why stay on the ephemeral and not hold on to the eternity? It is to this eternity that the Prophets have called us. People who do not aspire to this eternity do everything to be the masters on this Earth because they only have this reality and have achieved what they most hope for. Whereas people who have both one foot on this earth and another on the world of eternity aspire to something else, to answer the call of God.
After this preamble, Sheikh Jamel Tahiri addresses the subject of this analysis, the #Hope, which has an intimate relationship with the Quran.
This hope is multiple. The first is hope in the material, the ephemeral world.
The second is hope in God. As a believer, we must avoid placing our hope in the life of this world because if we place it on the material then we cannot have hope in God and what is eternal. Material hope comes to put a veil between man and heavenly hope.
People who place their hope in the material have no more certainty and no more connection with the heavenly world. So the man connects himself with everything that is palpable.
