Our way of life is altered daily by the use and disuse of material tools. Materialist behaviour identified communally, individually, and globally. Materials used to suit the purpose of their function was justified, but furthered to develop an emotional and spiritual connotation. Through modernized contextual behaviour associated with such material, the use of the function became conceptualized to influence greater than the being of the physical world. Emotional relationships developed with the material is reflected on other individuals in their efforts of communication. Social relationships were then established to be based on material wealth, in the act of conspicuous consumption followed by commodity fetishism. Materialist behaviour stratified

Materials became distinctive in the feature that, “[human] consciousness can never know pure consciousness and there can only know itself through the object world” (Wilford, 2008, p. 412).

Individuals obtained relations to the material, not only did the object identification restructured the communal interaction, but also the self-interaction. The behavioural act in which a commodity was purchased was reflective of the emotional state in which led the individual to purchase the desired object (Wilford, 2008, p. 419). Imagine a child at an amusement park. Forget the tangible process of the materialized ticket being purchased and the rides, but envision the behavioural context in the relation the child had with the amusement park. The amusement park brought joy to the child in both physical and mental form. The idea of the material took on a “reflexive transformation” (Wilford, 2008, p. 412), establishing a dialect in which the material became a mental object (Wilford, 2008, p. 415).

The female individual suited the function of her master and exhibited his wealth through conspicuous consumption (Veblen, 1899, p. 52). Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in her work Women and Economics (1898), defined the relationship between the wife and husband as the relationship between an employee and an employer (p.171). In respect to this context the wife began to be alienated, like a labourer, from kin in the succession of her work and “economic ability of [her] husband” (Gilman, 1898, p. 171). Depending on the ability of the female’s husband emphasized the interdependence humans have upon another in economic strength; individuals were dependent upon another in means of social survival (Gilman, 1898, p. 173). In the presence shared among many feminists such as Gilman and Christine Delphy gender was established as a social class (Disch, 2015, p. 832). The female was an individualist person that was to represent the minorities that felt the discontentment from the patriarch. The individualist behaviour did not work in the essential underlings of the patriarch due to the uniformity of capitalistic
