In fact, in a survey of over 1,000 American adults, 96% said they had bought something to make themselves feel better. But the perceived benefits of retail therapy often last for only a short time and can give way to longer- term and morale-damaging effects. Negative emotions and sadness can lead to a loss of self worth. And this often is what drives people to tum to shopping when they feel down. However, the positive emotions cannot be ignored, either.

There were different reasons for the destruction of English religious houses. The official reason given by King Henry was morality: the monks, he claimed, were acting immorally by accumulating wealth at the expense of the poor. However, there were political reasons as well. Thomas Cromwell, the new vicar-general, was opposed to pilgrimages (朝圣) and the worship of holy objects, and Henry did not wish to see his new government split into factions.
