экономический сверхматериализм (Post-materialist values are individual improvement, esteem, belonging, and aesthetic and intellectual satisfaction, personal freedom, citizen input in government decisions, a society based on humanism, and a clean and healthy environment. As increasing post-materialism is based on the abundance of material possessions or resources, it should not be mixed indiscriminately with asceticism or general denial of consumption. In some way post-materialism may be described as super-materialism, abundant consumption. There is a tendency in Germany towards this orientation among young people, in the economically rather secure public service, and in the managerial middle class. Alex_Odeychuk) |
