Affluenza : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites

How can we live better with less?

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Beware the Affluenza Virus. An epidemic of mindless consumerism is sweeping the world with the compulsive pursuit of money and possessions making people richer but sadder.

That is the stark warning issued by best-selling British psychologist Oliver James after a "mind tour" of seven countries chronicling how depression envelopes the affluent. "We have become addicted to having rather than being and confusing our needs with our wants," he told Reuters in an interview to mark publication on Thursday of "Affluenza."

Globe-trotting from New York to Sydney, Singapore and Shanghai via Copenhagen, Moscow and Auckland, he concluded after interviewing 240 people that "selfish capitalism" has run riot. Bigger houses, more cars, larger televisions, younger faces -- these goals are frenetically pursued by middle-class workaholics afflicted by "Affluenza." see full article at www.franciscanvocation.com

Answer: Yes, and America is hardest hit with the disease because you are so gullible and easily led.

Shut off your tv, get off those ever expanding butts, and get outside, talk to your neighbours, have your kids play together, and stop buying ridiculous games that only make the corporate (and Asian) population rich (one day you will regret that) and be self supportive and buy local.

Start caring about humanity, your neighbours, grow your own foods, live a simple life, work on educating your children (and yourselves) and exercise, play and laugh a little.

Do you people not see the garbage that is being imported into your country, and how unsafe and unhealthy it all is? Cat food from China...killing your pets...toothpaste from China...full of dangerous bacteria....that is only what is known as much is not inspected.

Why is North America the only continent with such rampid CANCER? I mean think about your lifestyles, what you consume, how you live, the toxic factories you live next too, what they are doing to your water and produce, (how many of you have allergies and asthma?) and maybe then a lightbulb will actually switch on in those heads.

BIBLIO FILE; Luxe Populi

Luxury for the masses -- the crusade that got under way in the late 80s -- implied that schoolteachers and cab drivers, having been denied Birkin bags and 911 Turbo convertibles for all of recorded history, were finally coming into their natural birthright. Affordable luxury would bring lifes finer things within reach and spread them around. - By HOLLY BRUBACK

Affluenza! - The Mom Initiative

How to prevent overindulgence during the Christmas season.

Does anyone can help me to figure out those words?

1.mockumentary 2. Hongcouver 3. mockney 4. affluenza 5. screenager 6. cineplex

Thanks a million.
Those words are from an artical about portmanteau. Thank you.

Answer: A portmanteau is a term in linguistics that refers to a word or morpheme that fuses two or more grammatical functions. Hence the words you give are combinations of two other words -

Mockumentary, a portmanteau of mock documentary (also fictional documentary or false documentary), is a film and TV genre, or a single work of the genre. The mockumentary is presented as if it were a documentary, though it is not factual. It is a commonly used medium for parody and satire.

HongCouver or Hongcouver is a portmanteau referring to Vancouver in the aftermath of the large-scale Chinese Canadian immigration of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly as a result that originating in Hong Kong. The name is considered derogatory by some and simply descriptive by others. It is in public use by residents, non-residents, media, and politicians.

In British English, the term mockney (a Portmanteau of "mock" and "cockney") has come to be used, predominantly in the media, to describe those who present themselves as cockneys (or, by extension, other working-class groups) with the intention of gaining popular credibility. A stereotypical mockney comes from a middle or upper-middle class background in England's Home Counties. (See Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins as an example)

Affluenza is a term used by critics of consumerism. It is a portmanteau word formed by the contraction of affluence and influenza. Sources define this term as follows:-

affluenza, n. a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more. (de Graaf, 2002)
affluenza, n. 1. The bloated, sluggish and unfulfilled feeling that results from efforts to keep up with the Joneses. 2. An epidemic of stress, overwork, waste and indebtedness caused by dogged pursuit of the American Dream. 3. An unsustainable addiction to economic growth. (PBS)

Screenagers are technologically savvy young people. They are the first generation to grow up with television and computers at home, music downloads, instant messaging and cellular phones. Douglas Rushkoff first coined the term in his 1997 book Playing the Future.

Cineplex is a portmanteau of cinema and multiplex and may be used generically as a synonym for a multiplex movie house.

The bill passed by the Senate was an effort to reduce a national unemployment rate that stood at 25 percent. It - Op-Ed article by John de Graaf says millions of Americans are without work, even as many others are working mandatory overtime; says International Labor Orgn study finds Americans work nine weeks more per year than Western Europeans, and that Americans are working 199 hours more in 2000 than they did in 1973; says Americans have taken all their increases in labor productivity in form of money instead of time; says Europeans have made different choice--to live simpler, more balanced lives and work fewer hours; cites harmful effects of working more hours that are being felt in many areas of American society; says Oct 24 will be first Take Back Your Time Day, goal of which is to encourage Americans to lead more balanced lives; drawing (M) - John de Graaf, co-author of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic, is national coordinator of Take Back Your Time Day. - By John de Graaf

Consumerism is part of the American Dream and w/out it America would not be what it is today.?

Opinions about Affluenza.

Answer: Consumerism is a byproduct of capitalism and the American Dream is all about capitalism. It used to be that the dream was you work hard and make something of yourself. Now, it's you win a big lawsuit or the lottery (the work hard part has gone missing). But regardless, the idea is that you get to the top so you can ??? I don't think the end point was ever about philanthropy - it's always been about buying stuff. It may be cynical and / or horrifying that leaders in the U.S. encourage folks to buy stuff as their patriotic duty. But that's what keeps capitalism going. So we are all being sold Consumerism as a way of life, but don't you think it's just in the service of the capitalist way of life? So, I guess I'd have to agree that without Consumerism, the U.S. would not be what it is today. Without Consumerism, it would potentially be a whole lot better.

The things that we will always remember are not those that cost a fortune, but those that are free. Like baking cookies w mom. Riding the tractor w dad, playing ball with gma, building snowmen w grandad, swimmin w friends, acting crazy with people, watching a movie on tv. I'm pretty sure you can think of priceless times in your life.
Everything now is by email, texts, computers, phones etc Use a credit card. You know, when I was growing up we didnt have cell phones and all that garbage. Just a roatry dial phone and you called afriend a hung out with them or got a letter in the mail from grandma.

What is your opinion regarding affluenza?

Affluenza is more like "earn more, spend more, want more". Its the exact opposite of simple living or voluntary simplicity. This has been defined as the contagious disease of the middle class.

Whats your take on this?

Answer: It will kill more people than bird flu.

Most advertisers seem to have got their ideas from a combination of Joseph Goebbels and a variety of 20th century psychologists. They actively try to make us unhappy in our lives in order to sell us stuff we don't need.

They cause stress, debt and misery whilst distracting us from the genuinely important things we should be dealing with in our lives. The earth's resources are being despoiled to make crap new phones, sweatshops are busy making shit clothes with stupid logos sewn onto them and the medical profession is being diverted towards cosmetic surgery and away from life-saving work. All in the sum of human misery. It has a more efficient propaganda system than any dictatorship in history and it is even subtly changing our language so we cannot even criticise it. - "entrepreneur" "wealth provider" "free enterprise" = good; "red tape" "restrictive practices" "nimbyism" = bad. Debate over.

Know it for what it is - its name is Uncontrolled Global Capitalism and it is our very own blind idiot god.

whats a good argumentative research paper topic for a controversy based on affluenza?

I need help on finding a good topic about a controversy based on affluenza. Any suggestions? Please help!

Answer: You could talk about the known affluenza cases and deaths vs the swine flu deaths and the way that the media and US government have hyped up the neccesity for vaccinations as a means to make money.

So far I have heard swine flu has killed 15000 people in a bout a year and a half vs the 35000 people that the regular flu kills every year.
