Talk:Postmaterialism

Post-Materialism

Post-Materialism is not connected to the anti-consumerism movement. The article even says so itself, saying that PM is NOT a rejection of consumption. Post-Materialism is the set of values that FOLLOW advanced capitalist development. It has nothing to do with culture jamming, Naomi Klein, or asceticism.

International data from World Values Survey 2000 show the highest percentage of post-materialists in Australia (20%) followed by Austria (30%), Canada (29%), Italy (28%), Argentina (25%), United States (25%), Sweden (22%), Netherlands (22%), Puerto Rico (22%) etc. (Inglehart et al. 2004: 384).

Something is not right about this statement; the percentage for Australia (20%) is smaller than that of the other nations referred to.

This article needs: 1. A correct title entry: Is it Post-Materialism, post-materialism, Post-materialism, Postmaterialism or postmaterialsim (else?)?

2. A sound definition.

3. Outline the debate among social scientists, political scientists, ect. regarding whether or not postmaterialism is an actual trend.

4. Whatever else you know!

Note:

I learned this term in college in an environmental science class four years ago.

On the textbook there was a graph outlining the postmaterialistic trend in different countries.

I think postmaterialism has got to somehow be related to the wiki concept, as far as non-materialistic collaboration between individuals, so the term should definitely be here.

This is my first Wikipedia entry. Sorry for the mess. I need to figure out how to somehow put notes in an entry for other editors to collaborate with me.

My goodness! This is easy to edit!

Question: once the term is defined, how to I fix the header? That is, if the consensus spelling of the term is Post-materialism, how to I fix the page title?

Thanks, Giorgio —The preceding comment was added by 68.229.26.155 (talk • contribs) 12:33, March 26, 2004 (UTC)

Just use the Move This Page option which you should see on the toolbar or as a link somewhere on the article's page.

If you can't see a toolbar, it's probably because you haven't logged in. If you do you can get a Preferences screen which will allow you to specify a toolbar (which will have Move this page as an option). -- Derek Ross 12:43, March 26, 2004

Please define...

", because they were not raised in times of material deprivation."

Are you talking about the post or pre war people in that sentance? Maybe its just me but I dont this that was very clear.

Thanks- H4

Include citations please

This article needs to specify where Inglehart developed postmaterialism's sociological heritage. It needs to show the publication and page number(s) where this occurs. Of the publications cited, at least one makes no specific mention of either "postmaterialism or "post-materialism." A direct quotation of its usage, then, would help clarify the article's claims.

The paragraph outlining the three different materialisms is really good, but it desperately needs citations. This material does not seem to come from Inglehart (1977). I'll add them if I come across appropriate sources, but I'm on this page precisely because I'm searching for those sources myself.DrMichaelWright (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
