As we have access to more things, we create a more fluid identity, one more compatible with ourselves: we are not what we own, but what we access
The way to analyze behaviour influences and consumption doesn’t necessarily follow the social income pyramid’s top-down logic anymore.
When ownership no longer is synonym of success or security for many girls of this generation, consuming less becomes a way of expressing oneself in the world
The vulnerability suggested by “artistic nude” that represents women from the male perspective is opposed to the power of “nudes,” which defies the norm and reinforces women’s control over their own image and sexuality.

Inclusion and diversity are no longer a desire of some, but a necessity for all. The growth of policies that foster female inclusion, training, and empowerment, alongside the explosion in female entrepreneurship, has weakened this invisible barrier and promises to shatter it for once and for all
Feeling the need for freer and more significant activity, and perceiving the new consumer-focused landscape, ad makers start to deny the age of excess. But if consumerism is reaching its end, what is advertising supposed to dedicate itself to? The answer is that the tug of war will be between two schools: one that wants to sell more and the other that wants to sell better.

To emancipate human beings it is necessary to reevaluate everything we do not consider a determining factor for the construction of identity.
