UTS  Maryhill MATERIAL SELF 60 College ANCHORAGE AND RELAY Relay involves the use of multiple signs to work together to convey meaning.

Simplicity and Moderation - choose to live a more modest lifestyle, avoiding excessive extravagance in consumption. 4. Stewardship - individuals are viewed as stewards of the resources and wealth entrusted to them by God. UTS  Maryhill MATERIAL SELF 65 College THE MARXIST PERSPECTIVE “No production without a need. But consumption reproduces that need.” - Karl Marx UTS  Maryhill MATERIAL SELF 66 College THE MARXIST PERSPECTIVE Commodity Fetishism Marxists argue that in a capitalist society, commodities (goods and services) take on a "fetishized" quality. Certain goods are given high monetary value with no regard for the labor that went into its creation... (Felluga, 2015) UTS  Maryhill MATERIAL SELF 67 College THE MARXIST PERSPECTIVE ALIENATION It refers to the estrangement or separation of individuals from the products of their labor, their own human nature, and their social and economic relationships. UTS  Maryhill MATERIAL SELF 68 College THE MARXIST PERSPECTIVE Marx thought that feeling disconnected and unhappy at work is a natural part of the way capitalism works.
