ABSTRACT

Modern societies try to describe themselves and their characteristics by using impressive titles (Prisching 2003, 13). Some choose terms that de‡ne economic structure (Service Society); terms that express the end of an epoch (Post-Industrial Society, Post-Growth Society); and terms that attempt to cover up the nature of a complex society. Among the many examples are the Working Society, Achieving Society, Performance Society, Education Society, Life-Style Society, Consumer Society, Leisure Society, rill-Seeking Society, Fun Society, Hedonistic Society, Mass-Culture Society, Immigration Society, Multi-Cultural Society, Pluralistic Society, Secularised Society, Creative Society, Communication Society, Media Society, Film Society, E-Society, Knowledge Society, Scienti‡c Society, Progress Society, Organization Society, erapy Society, Demanding Society, Multi-Optional Society, 24-Hour
