Design for what?

In one of my liberal art classes "The American Dream", we discussed about the America's great consumption culture. And of course, who designs all of those products? yeah. it is the DESIGNERS!! Since US is one of the top countries which has the excessive exports - it automatically tells that there are excessive amount of designers also.
According to the fact, the top first consumer in US is teenagers, and they spend over couple hundreds every weekends. Many of entertainment companies are also targeting teenagers - it is huge! Even elementary school students have cells and ipods, and watching MTV and VH1.
So as designers we sure have more pressure over what we are designing for and against. Is it so true?
