materialist values  

Definición

  • The term materialist values refers to the worth attributed to physical goods that are usually associated with the economy, technology, and biology, whether the goods are for function, status, or the joy of accumulating objects. Scholars generally argue that widespread materialist values, often referred to as materialism, have been part and parcel of the industrial period of growth, especially in more-developed countries, where goods became mass-produced and more affordable for the lower and middle classes.
