ACTIVITY 6 – PERSONAL CONSUMPTION AUDIT

Name: Jacinto, Neil Jonathan Y. Date Submitted: March 15, 2021


Course/Section: BSBA – HRM 2 | BA75 Schedule: Thursdays, 1PM – 4PM

Instructions: People believe that the more they are able to purchase things and avail of services, the more
'developed' and *progressive' are the lives they lead. Yet, Hickel made it clear in his article that huge
consumption does not necessarily equate to long and happy lives. In this sense, is it possible for people to
also de-develop their consumption, but still remain happy and contented? Accomplish the personal
consumption audit table below and see what things you can reduce or minimize without sacrificing, or even
improving, the quality of your daily life. For your guidance, the first row has been provided as an example.
