Abstract
This chapter builds on the previous one by adding culture as an aspect of consumerism differentiating each type I offer in Chap. 4. I engage the construct of culture as grounded in particular ideologies and worldviews and expand each type I offer in the previous chapter by elaborating the culture of a particular type of consumerism. I amplify what is distinctive about each of the four types, and I then offer a chapter capturing the dynamics of how a particular culture can degrade the quality of life and quality of day people experience. Within the conclusion, I engage the idea of the multicultural qualities of consumerism within human services and offer an explanation of why consumerism incorporates multiple cultures.
