Consumerism a Consequence of the Absence of Ethics
Consumerist society is the consequence of the philosophical movement that started to form at the end of the Second World War. Dynamic development of technology required by the war needs started to be asserted in peace conditions of management mainly in information technology and computing. The philosophy of management reacted on the changes resulting from the political development and the post-war state of economy. It focused on the quantity law that in time changes to quality. Qualitative management that focused on the benefits of information technology and computing started to develop. It increased the attention to measurable values in economics and limited the observation of immeasurable values of economic phenomena. It was done in good faith that desirable development of immeasurable consequences of economic phenomena will be ensured by legislation. For that reason a slogan “what is not forbidden is allowed” was created and it enabled the “dance” among paragraphs with the help of complicated mathematic methods and computing.
