Konsum / Consumerism Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Konsum / Consumerism:

I have to confess that I've never been a great fan of Christmas or, as it's known in our house, The Monster That Ate the Last Third of the Year. It's mostly the rampant consumerism I object to, but I'm also a little wary of the annual crop of new Christmas stories and sometimes wonder why anyone bothers. Tony Bradman

A lot of times, my work is looked at very much on the surface. It's very easy to just want to put something in a box - to say, 'Oh, since this work deals with surface desires at times, this is about consumerism.' And of course, the base of the work is... not about economics at all.

Jeff Koons

The family wage has been eroded by the same developments that have promoted consumerism as a way of life.

Christopher Lasch

The corruption of the American soul is consumerism.

Ben Nicholson

I think a lot of self-identity and inner-personal development is hampered by consumerism and capitalism because we see ourselves as a reflection of the TV, rather than as a reflection of the people who are around us, truly.

Aloe Blacc

It is the logic of consumerism that undermines the values of loyalty and permanence and promotes a different set of values that is destructive of family life.

Christopher Lasch

Unfortunately, there are some ecological phenomenological chemicals within consumerism.

Timothy Morton

By continually pushing the message that we have the right to gratification now, consumerism at its most expansive encouraged a demand for fulfillment that could not so easily be contained by products.

Ellen Willis

Corporate America limits the world to consumerism. Science can limit it to the material world. Even religion limits it to a lot of theories that can explain everything. I think we need cinema to break that apart and remind us that we're not in control, and we don't understand as much as we think do.

Scott Derrickson

My first rule of consumerism is never to buy anything you can't make your children carry.

Bill Bryson

Since the 1970s, we have witnessed the forces of market fundamentalism strip education of its public values, critical content, and civic responsibilities as part of its broader goal of creating new subjects wedded to consumerism, risk-free relationships, and the destruction of the social state.

Henry Giroux

It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.

Christopher Lasch

Neoliberalism is hard to define. It could refer to intensified resource extraction, financialization, austerity, or something more ephemeral - a way of life - in which collective ideals of citizenship give way to marketized individualism and consumerism.

Greg Grandin

I condemn the national gay press for its emphasis on consumerism.

Harry Hay

We belabour, I think, under a very heavy crust of consumerism really.

Emma Thompson

I think America and Britain have a different culture from France. They discovered marketing and consumerism before France.

Pierre Dukan

Make it new is the message not just of modern art but of modern consumerism, of which modern art is largely a mirror image.

Christopher Lasch

Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.

Trevor Dunn

The 'Dead' films allow me to talk about things that a drama, say, won't. 'Dawn Of The Dead,' which was set in a shopping mall, is on one level about consumerism; 'Land Of The Dead' is a response to Bush.

George A. Romero

Violence is hidden within democratic structures because they are not radically democratic - Western democracy is merely a domestic convenience of consumerism.

Edward Bond

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.

Natalie Portman

There are signs, I think, that people aren't satisfied by consumerism: that people resent the fact that the most moral decision in their lives is choosing what colour their next car will be.

J. G. Ballard

My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.

Christian Bale

Consumerism is so weird. It's a sort of conspiracy we collude in. You'd think shoppers spending their hard-earned cash would be highly critical. You know that the manufacturers are trying to have you on.

J. G. Ballard

Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women's rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what's going on in Africa - it stops us from thinking in general.

Pink

I have to confess that I've never been a great fan of Christmas or, as it's known in our house, The Monster That Ate the Last Third of the Year. It's mostly the rampant consumerism I object to, but I'm also a little wary of the annual crop of new Christmas stories and sometimes wonder why anyone bothers.

Tony Bradman

I will go out of my way to avoid the shopping crowds and the extreme consumerism - I hate all that.

Annie Lennox
