Community and authority are very important to them, and they believe that wealth should be shared to ensure that all community members survive.</DIV> <BR /><DIV> Welfarists are people with individualistic mindsets, who believe that wealth accumulation is important to improve the welfare of themselves and their households.</DIV> <BR /><DIV> Consumerists have individualistic mindsets and believe that their own consumption needs are of paramount importance. They will spend large amounts of money to enhance their image by buying expensive branded clothing and cars.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B8719F86-8188-4452-A942-41BC507D8C4C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
