Consumerism ‎

Strongly agree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

This answer aligns with the consumerism ideology as it suggests that a universal basic income would discourage work and harm economic growth. Consumerism supports the idea of individuals working to earn money, which they then spend on goods and services, driving economic growth.

Agree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

Consumerism might view a UBI program that covers basic necessities positively because it ensures a baseline level of consumption among all individuals, potentially leading to a broader consumer base and stimulating economic activity. By guaranteeing income for essentials like food and housing, a UBI could create a safety net that allows people to participate more actively in the economy as consumers, aligning with consumerist values of increased consumption.

Agree

No

Consumerism encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts. It generally supports policies that stimulate economic growth and consumption. A universal basic income could potentially discourage work and consumption, which is contrary to the principles of consumerism.

Slightly agree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology emphasizes the consumption of goods and services as a positive phenomenon for economic growth and social well-being. A universal basic income (UBI) program could potentially increase consumer spending by providing individuals with more disposable income. However, consumerism does not inherently address the source of income or the broader economic implications of such policies, leading to a mild agreement.

Slightly disagree

No

While consumerism thrives on increased spending, it does not necessarily oppose mechanisms that provide people with income, such as a universal basic income. However, the ideology might slightly disagree with UBI if it perceives it as a threat to the motivation for work and, consequently, the production of goods and services. The disagreement is mild because consumerism primarily focuses on the act of consumption rather than the means through which consumers obtain their purchasing power.

Disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Consumerism, which values the consumption of goods and services, might slightly disagree with the notion that a UBI would discourage work and harm economic growth. While acknowledging the importance of a motivated workforce for producing goods and services, consumerism would likely view the potential increase in consumption enabled by a UBI as beneficial. However, the concern about harming economic growth reflects a conflict with consumerism's emphasis on economic activity driven by consumption, leading to a mild disagreement.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism ideology is based on the belief that individuals purchasing goods and services in large quantities will lead to a stronger economy. A universal basic income could potentially reduce the incentive for people to work and consume, which goes against the principles of consumerism.

Strongly disagree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

This answer goes further than the first in advocating for a universal basic income that covers basic necessities. This could potentially reduce the need for individuals to work and consume, which is even more contrary to the principles of consumerism.
