‘Sociologist Paul Ray first treated the phenomenon in his book „The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million Are Changing The World“.

Some see the phenomenon as an attempt giving consumerism a new zeitgeist-characteristic image.’
‘Different states of society bring up different phenomena of user behaviour. The films wants to bring up questions about a lack of criticality. What circumstances do we rely on without questioning?’
