The New World Disorder addresses the concept of how nations wide have and continue to change in culturally. Today’s society is largely about technology and consumer culture.

The economy began to grow towards large consumption audiences.









Fordism- is the making a large scale production an incorporating into a large scale productions to produce mass consumption. However, the Fordism concept led to crisis of overproduction and thus Post-Fordism. This called for the company to evaluate how they constructed their labor systems.  Labor was narrowed down to the multi-skilled employees.  It is because of post-Fordism that much of the work was handled through various part time jobs. Company than began to hire low paid temporary workers. In many case they hired woman or people of color for a lower price. To demonstrate the concept I choose to show a clip with a factory ensemble line.

Post Fordism is labor and work concepts but it also is about the relationship between consumers and accumulation.  The main process of the theory is to study how much consumers spend.





The patterns of consumptions continue to regenerate: consumption levels rise and are shortly followed fragmenting the working class. Today’s population is dominant by western societal influences. In a western society, people are constantly shifting importance in consumption needs and preferences. However, in a western society consumptions are no longer concerned of the value of the product, but rather what the product symbolizes. In essence of it all value it found through the views of others. For instance, teens throughout several generations have valued certain things that no longer hold ay value. Value is determined by significant social affiliation

Consumption fads continue to rise which eventually leads to culture consumption. According to the reading, it lessens the chance for uniqueness and creativity if everyone has what everyone else has.



Modern culture is continues to change due to cultural values and economical changes.
