Consumerism ‎

Agree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the consumption of goods and services and the belief in the benefits of free-market capitalism to improve the standard of living. From this perspective, funding research into genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment could be seen as a positive step, as it aligns with the consumerist value of improving quality of life through technological and scientific advancements. Moreover, successful research could lead to new products and services in the healthcare market, stimulating economic growth and consumer spending. However, the score is not higher because consumerism does not inherently prioritize government intervention or funding in markets, often favoring private sector solutions.

Disagree

No

While consumerism does not explicitly oppose government funding in all scenarios, it generally leans towards the belief that innovation and progress are best driven by the private sector and competitive markets. The skepticism towards government funding in genetic engineering research might stem from a preference for market-driven solutions, which are perceived to be more efficient and responsive to consumer needs. However, the negative score is not more extreme because consumerism does not inherently reject all forms of government intervention, especially if such interventions could eventually lead to greater consumer choice and market expansion.
