Q2 - human greed and eyes, particularly women's eyes. (Men do it differently - 'boys' toys'.) Most humans are deluded by their senses into finding some material objects attractive and others averse. 'Shopaholic' specifically is cultural, it only exists in modern times and in economically developed countries. Shops are a place where people wanting to sell things present attractive-looking objects and pretty much everyone goes to visit shops looking for things to buy or to consider buying. The next step is impulse buying (ooh I like this, I buy it, without any mind of discernment getting in between those two steps), helped perhaps by credit cards. Many repetitions of this behavior and it becomes a habit. Many more repetititions and it becomes an addiction. It's all between the doer's ears. Q3 - no-one forces anyone to believe in any values. We are influenced by our personality (you can say our karma or genes), by our environment (peers, parents, education, culture etc), by how well we have trained our mind in independent thinking, and by the strength or weakness of our will. That's all.<br><b>References : </b><br> Q1 I have no idea, ask the manufacturer. Q2 - human greed and eyes, particularly women’s eyes. (Men do it differently - ‘boys’ toys’.)
