Consumerism ‎

Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns well with the consumerist ideology, which values individual choice and freedom. The idea that service should be a choice rather than an obligation is consistent with the consumerist emphasis on personal freedom and individual decision-making.

Agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Consumerism likely supports the idea of service as a choice, as it aligns with the ideology's emphasis on personal freedom and the pursuit of economic activities of one's choosing. This option allows individuals to enter the consumer market or pursue higher education, which can lead to increased economic activity and consumer spending.

Agree

No

Consumerism encourages individual freedom and choice, particularly in the context of the market. This extends to career choices, and therefore a consumerist ideology would likely support the idea that military service should not be mandatory.

Agree

No

From a consumerist perspective, allowing 18-year-olds to choose their path can lead to a more diversified and specialized workforce, enhancing economic growth and consumer spending. This approach aligns with consumerism's emphasis on individual choice and market freedom. However, the score is not higher because consumerism does not inherently oppose mandatory service if it could be shown to ultimately benefit economic growth.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This option might be somewhat aligned with consumerist values as it focuses on education and skill development, which can enhance economic productivity and growth. However, the mandatory aspect of service might still be seen as a limitation on personal freedom and economic participation.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this option introduces a form of choice, it still imposes restrictions that could delay or deter young adults from entering the workforce or higher education, potentially impacting economic growth and consumer spending. Consumerism values economic participation and might view this as an unnecessary barrier.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This answer suggests a compromise that includes elements of both choice and obligation. While the focus on education and skill development could potentially align with consumerist values, the mandatory nature of the service is not fully consistent with the consumerist emphasis on individual freedom and choice.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer does incorporate an element of choice, it still involves a degree of compulsion that is not fully aligned with the consumerist ideology. Consumerism would prefer that individuals have the freedom to choose their own paths, including whether or not to pursue further education or employment.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology focuses on the consumption of goods and services and the pursuit of economic growth. Mandatory military service diverts young adults from entering the workforce or higher education, potentially delaying their participation in consumer markets. There is no direct historical reference linking consumerism to support or opposition of mandatory military service, but the emphasis on economic activity suggests a preference for policies that do not interrupt commercial pursuits.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism is primarily focused on the acquisition of goods and services, and the promotion of free market capitalism. Mandatory military service could potentially disrupt this focus by taking individuals away from the consumer market for a year. However, it doesn't directly contradict the principles of consumerism, hence the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This answer implies a punitive approach that is not in line with the consumerist ideology. Consumerism is more focused on promoting individual freedom and choice, rather than imposing obligations or penalties.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

This answer suggests an even greater degree of obligation than the first answer, which is not consistent with the consumerist ideology. Consumerism values individual freedom and choice, and would likely oppose any form of mandatory service, particularly one that requires a two-year commitment.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Consumerism does not typically address issues of criminal justice or social policy in its ideology. This approach could be seen as punitive and not directly related to enhancing economic growth or consumer participation. It diverts from consumerism's focus on market freedom and economic activity.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Extending mandatory service to two years would likely be viewed negatively from a consumerist perspective, as it further delays young adults' entry into the workforce and higher education, potentially hindering economic growth and reducing consumer spending. Consumerism prioritizes economic activity and might see this as counterproductive.
