READING TEXT

Extract 1
James: So, would you sat the States has become more materialistic culture that it ever was?
Laurel: That’s a really interesting question. I would say that it’s stayed the same because if
you think about what America’s supposed to stand for, it’s supposed to stand for the
fact that you can come from nothing and do extremely well, and I think that’s
always included having material possessions, ‘cause otherwise I think they think
you have nothing to show for your new status, you know, if you come in as a
penniless immigrant and you end up owning a big corporation you should have a
few things to show that you’ve done really well.
Extract 2
Richard: In Australia, I think in the city centers, it’s a cosmopolitan western, more you
know, ideology to be talking about money and jobs and success because so much of
Australia is rural, you know, money’s a big issue because farming ‘s, you know, not
as successful as it used to be, and….
Alan: Do people tend to ask you know much you earn?
Richard: No, I mean, yeah, they do but it’s not, I don’t feel it’s out of, you know, like a class
struggle, you know, I think it’s more out of interest to say, oh, I wonder what that
job’s like, and can you earn a lot of money from that job? You know, oh, that’s
good, you know> Maybe in Sydney, perhaps in Sydney because it’s , you know,
that’s sort of somewhere where people rise.
Extract 3
Lyndham: Well, i think in India people have become , a lot of people have become more
concerned with wealth and material possessions. It seems that there is this big
divide between the middle class and people who just don’t have access to that,
people who don’t have access to that, then it’s just completely out of their remit,
so getting enough to eat is the most important thing, not what you might be
wearing or driving a car for goodness sake. That’s completely out. Yeah.
