  Black Friday takes place after Thanksgiving. It is also known as Buy Nothing Day. Some activists persuade people not to join this consumerism purchasing event and to cut the credit card.

  I personally won’t blame Black Friday as there will be so many things discounted, and if I need the stuff, I’ll buy it.

  In recent years in Vietnam, Black Friday is more popular. Retailers offer a lot of big deals for consumers. I think some people waste money on this occasion, they buy things only due to low price instead of their need.

• Marcos J Gonzalez Reyes says:
  

  In my opinion, my financial household, allow me to buy only what we need in my house at any moment, always when the good price permits it.

  Hello, everybody! A good subject for discussion. Personally, I would participate in Black Friday shopping, because of the huge reductions and low prices. On Black Friday you can easily find a professional course for free. I can’t stand for waiting Black Friday to come this year!

  Personally, i think Black Friday is Worth all the marketing because everything you want to buy goes on sale with the best discounts

• Fetha Bennani says:
  

  I think black friday is a great oppurtunity for the costumers by allowing them buying what they want with little prices, and it’s also good for the retailers to have the possibility to recieve a new stocks.

  NOTHING TO REPORT

• Lahouil Tarek says:
  

  Black Friday takes place at the end of November.
  Black Friday or buy nothing day is the campaign to boycott the purchase, in protest against buying a lot without needing it.
  The report says that there’s who offer to cut up credit cards for those who are about to waste money on things they don’t need.

  Depending on my needs, I participate or not, because black Friday is an opportunity to buy at low prices but otherwise I do not participate. So launching an awareness campaign on priority setting and action will be more effective than preventing participation

• Med Ali Melki says:
  

  in general I do not wait for black friday for purchases

• CHEDIA TURKI says:
  

  Black Friday is a good opportunity for those who have a lot of money to spend.

  Many words in the listening are incomprehensible

  it’ a supper exercice but a little hard

• Frank Li says:
  

  I am most likely to participated in Buy Nothing Day because with today’s shopping environment, whenever I need something, I can always shop online or stores near where I live. In other words, there is no point to have a special shopping day like Black Friday. In addition, Black Friday shopping day is just one of the strategies that stores use to attract more customers.

  Black Friday is good for the personal finance when you really need something, You can find very good prices. But is bad when you buy unnecessary things.

• The King Of Love From IRAN says:
  

  Thank you,

• Jose Tenorio says:
  

  I buy if I really need something and I can buy it at a low price.

• Gabriel Martinez says:
  

  It depends on the situation, for example, if I really need something and the holiday, Black Friday, gives me the oportunity to get in a good deal I agree, in other circumnstances, I am concious, and I am going to avoid to wiste my money buying things that I do not need, in this case I prefer the “Buy Nothing Day” to help our green planet.
  Thanks!

  I think Black Friday is a good day for me and others who can take advantage of this event to buy their gifts and needs at reduced prices.

• Cathy says:
  

  I believe if you need to buy something on that day, you can freely buy it. On a black day, you can buy cheaper staff, and there are definitely some cheaper things.

• Ferdaws Charrad says:
  

  I prefer the Buy Nothing Day because I think that most of retailers try to influence people by sales and to push them to the excessive consumption so I refuse to waste my money on things I don’t need and I try to sensitize my family and my friends to do the same.

  I personally prefer buy nothing day. Consumers can be benefit from it because most consumers buy things they don’t even need. Consumerism also cause lots of burden on earth.

• Alexander says:
  

  I’m agree with the article, if you have heard about fast fashion for example, you can notice the damage that We are doing to the Earth.
  In other hand social media sell us happiness like this could reach with money, We can’t realize this not try of the gift this is about the hands that deliver it.

  I think black friday is a good day for the consumer, who does not submit to impulse purchases, having better control over his expenses and unfortunately bad for the non responsible consumer.

• Luna says:
  

  I think that Black Friday is great, you can buy things very cheep!

• Sabri ISMAIL says:
  

  I think that black friaday is a good opportunity to save some money by profiting to some marketing actions and discount. Unfortunately, there are many unreasonable consumers who buying all thing and nothing 🙂

  So, in my opinion many people are stimulated to the commercial action all spend all their money in goods that they don’t needs

  Finally, it’s a good think to sensibilise the consumers by this kind of actions, on the other side it’s important to make a lobbying pression to the retailers and wholesalers to limit a wrong or false practice discount during the black Friday
