3. CONSUMER SOCIETY
• The direct result of an individualistic philosophy which
seeks not the common good but only individual
advancement even at the expense of one’s fellowmen.
• This condition has been abetted by the cultural influences
and the agencies that work towards our miseducation.
• There is no denying the fact that this mood is prevalent in
those societies which put a premium on self-indulgent
leisure and material advancement.
4. ALIENATION OF THE FILIPINO
• Our lack of a common central purpose, the
absence of real national goals, our addiction to
habits of dependence have resulted in the
deepening alienation of the Filipino.
• The more crimes are committed, the more the
non-criminal population retreats into strictly
individualistic means of protecting themselves and
their families.
• The sanctions that society normally imposes in its
member no longer exist.
