Consumidor^[3] culture refers to a societal framework where consumption of goods and services is not only a dominant activity but also a primary value and a means of self-definition. It is a type of culture that emerged following the Industrial Revolution, causing a shift from home-based work to wage-based labor. This culture is closely linked to the mass market theory, which is a central concept in consumer culture studies. This theory emphasizes on the roles of mass production, consumption, and the influence of meios de comunicação social^[2] e advertising^[1] in shaping consumer behavior. Various types of cultures such as hierarchical, individualist, egalitarian, and fatalist coexist within consumer culture, reflecting the diverse beliefs and values of different consumer groups. Advertising strategies in consumer culture often target specific age groups and cater to specific needs, and the bottled water industry is a classic example of such consumerist marketing. The life of the worker in a consumer culture is characterized by long work hours, unsafe conditions, and wage disparities.

2. ↑ meios de comunicação social. Mass media refers to various forms of communication that reach a large audience simultaneously. This includes traditional forms like print media (books, newspapers, magazines), recordings, cinema, radio, and television, as well as modern digital platforms like the internet and mobile phones. Each form of mass media uses unique content types and utilizes specific business models, creative artists, and technicians for production and distribution. It's worth noting that there's ongoing debate about whether video games should be considered a form of mass media. Mass media is characterized by its one-to-many communication model, allowing for broad dissemination of information or products. A key distinction of mass media is that it separates the production and reception of information, reaching audiences who are often distant in time and space from the producers.
