Big deal

Article Abstract:

The popularity of big appliances, items and even real properties, continues to grow, as US citizens have become increasingly interested in 'large-scale' elements. Big sizes have not only stood as a connotation of greater space, but have also been associated with high-value. Such a trend may be attributed to the prevalence of the so-called 'lite' culture, which promotes the value of temperance and restraint. The interest for big sizes may also be explained by the materialistic nature of Americans.
