<p>Today, we live in a consumption society. We buy products to soothe our needs and desires. Thru material things we can express our own personal identity and shopping is seen more as a pleasure than a need to survive.</p><p> </p><p>With the background media- and communication studies, the reason of this study was to explore how blogs as a social medium can influence the consumption ideal in society<strong>. </strong>With dialogical analysis and semiotic analysis we wanted to see if we could find a specific consumption culture in the content of six blogs we did our studies on. We found that the blogs showed us that there is normal to have everyday luxury and spoil oneself with expensive things. However, some of the result clearly shows that there is a difference between the Swedish and the international blogs.</p>
