Consumerism
"Western consumerism is a culture of exploitation and greed, with little or no regard for the consequences, such as those which short-term gains have on the environment: whaling, overfishing, forest destruction, deterioration of water catchments, greenhouse gases ... or that they have on indigenous societies with little available means to exploit local resources.
It is solely a culture of Imperialism, in which the richest gain the most immediate access to exploitation of resources regardless. The only visible dynamic, is the creation of extreme wealth for a few individuals, and of many societies who are thereby impoverished eventually and denied access to those resources."
