Scroll, click, buy : The role of social media in consumer culture (English)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of our essay, “Scroll, click, buy: the role of social media in consumer culture”, is to investigate how young women aged 20-24 are influenced by their own consumption, also which factors have an influence, such as peer pressure, advertising, economics, influencers,or the climate issue. We want to investigate this through the question: How are young women affected by different social media in relation to their social circle and their own consumption?The method for carrying out the essay is of a qualitative nature, where interviews are the basis for data collection. We used this method to get the opportunity to find the more profound thoughts and consumption patterns of our interviewees. This data gave us the opportunity to analyse how the category of young women relates to our question. We have analysed our collected data with the theories, social bonds by Thomas Scheff, subjectivity fetishism by Zygmunt Bauman and surveillance capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff. Through this study, we can see that young women are aware of the impact that consumer behaviour has on the climate. We can also see a lack regarding how they see their own impact on the climate, as well as individual responsibility

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur unga kvinnor i åldern 20–24 påverkas i sin konsumtion, även om det finns faktorer som har påverkan, såsom grupptryck, reklam, ekonomi, influencers eller klimatfrågan. Detta undersöks genom frågeställningen: Hur blir unga kvinnor påverkade av olika sociala medier i förhållande till sin umgängeskrets och sin egen konsumtion? Metoden för uppsatsens genomförande är av kvalitativ art, där intervjuer är grunden för datainsamling. Vi använde oss av denna metod för att få möjlighet till att hitta de mer djupgående tankarna, samt konsumtionsmönster hos våra intervjupersoner. Denna data gav oss möjlighet till att analysera hur kategorin unga kvinnor förhåller sig till vår frågeställning. Vi har analyserat vår insamlade data med teorierna sociala band av Thomas Scheff, subjektivitets fetischism av Zygmunt Bauman och övervakningskapitalism av Shoshana Zuboff. Vi kan genom denna studie se att unga kvinnor är medvetna om den påverkan som konsumtionsbeteenden har på klimatet. Vi kan även se en brist gällande hur de ser på sin egen påverkan på klimatet, samt det individuella ansvaret.
