| Publisher Description: Shopping is a raging phenomenon among developed countries and has been studied over and over. Sociologists say it's a 'female drive', in an attempt to explain the differences in shopping behavior between men and women. It was said that the same obsession of men over sports can be linked to the way women go crazy on Black Friday sales or on mall openings. In the evolution of man, the male species are known to be 'hunters', while women have always been the 'gatherers' or the ones who are in charge of finding things for their offspring. It is quite a reductionist perspective and is still widely debated, but one thing's for sure, shopping will keep women enchanted for years to come. This behaviour is not exactly exclusive to women though, because when you consider the purchase of gadgets, large screen TV's, and high-end cars, the tendency of men to make expensive purchases is surely noticeable. |
