English Conversation Club: Shopaholism & Retail Therapy

Shopaholism — retail therapy or emotional trap?

For our first meetup, we’ll talk about shopping habits, emotional spending, fashion culture, and the fine line between pleasure and dependence.

What are we discussing?

🛍️ Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009): harmless obsession or a real addiction?
👠 The Devil Wears Prada vs fast fashion: empowerment, pressure, or performance?
🧠 Shopping and the brain: chemistry, dopamine, habit or emotional coping?
💳 Retail therapy: does it really help, or just postpone the problem?
🪞 Identity and consumption: do we buy things we need, or identities we want?
📱 Social media and desire: are we shopping more because everything is aesthetic now?
💸 Are sales real opportunities or psychological traps?
🧬 Biology vs psychology: are some people more wired for compulsive shopping than others?

This is a relaxed English-speaking meetup, not a lecture. We’re here to talk, laugh, share opinions, and practice English in a friendly atmosphere.
