But...I had the feeling it was relevant here, as I believe one of the threat a consumer is meeting is the attempt to reduce him/her to one standard. Such as most food portions being adapted to a family of four. Or directing a whole population to eat one product rather than a variety, or for everyone to eat more salty than before to increase drinks sales. To feed everyone with Mac Donald, even if that require small adaptations depending on countries. hum | But...I had the feeling it was relevant here, as I believe one of the threat a consumer is meeting is the attempt to reduce him/her to one standard. | ||
:[[Homogenity]] is very good for the [[capitalist]] [[market economy]], since everybody will [[work]]/[[consume]] much harder to gain some difference from the rest of the people, if everyone desires the same things. [[Heterogenity]] on the other hand is better for the [[planet]] since people don't have to strive so much to feel oneself as an individual, thus reducing the [[ecological]] strain caused by people. | |||
