A Woman Steals over $2K in Meat From a Supermarket | እኅታችን የ፪ሺ ዶላር ስጋ ሰረቀች | ለፋሲካ?

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on April 23, 2022

በሉ፤ አንቸኩል፤ አንድ ቀን ይቀረናል፤ እንዲህ ቢያጓጓንም፤ ስጋ ባናበዛ ጥሩ ነው ፤ ለስጋም ለነፍስም እንደ ጾም ጊዜ ጤናማ የሆነ ጊዜ የለም። ይህ ለበዓላት ተብሎ ለአንድ ወይም ሁለት ቀን ብቻ ሲባል ስጋና ቅባት አግበስብሶ መፈሰኩን ማቆምና ሁሉንም በልክ ማድረግ ይኖርብናል። ሥራው ብዙ፤ ሸክሙ ብዙ፤ ውጭው ብዙ!

የሚከተለው ክቡር መስቀሉን በተመለከተ የቀረበ ጽሑፍ ዛሬ የምናየውን መከራንና ስቃይን በግልጽ ያመላክታል።

መስቀል የሚለው ቃል የተገኘው “ሰቀለ” ከሚለው የግእዝ ቋንቋ ግሥ ነው፡፡ትርጓሜውም “የተመሳቀለ” ወይም “መስቀል” ማለት ነው፡፡

መስቀል ለክርስቲያኖች የሕይወትና የድኅነት ምልክት የሆነው መድኅን ዓለም ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ከተሰቀለበት ጊዜ ጀምሮ ነው፡፡ ሁለቱ ከእንጨት የተገኙት የመስቀሉ ክፍሎች (አግድም እና ቀጥታ) በጣም ትልቅ የሆን ትርጉም ነው ያላቸው።

በኦሪት መስቀል የመርገምና የመቀጫ መሣሪያ ሆኖ ይቆጠር ነበር፡፡ ”ማንም ሰው ለሞት የሚያበቃውን ኃጢአት ቢሠራ እንዲሞትም ቢፈረድበት በእንጨትም ላይ ብትሰቅለው በእንጨት ላይ የተሰቀለ በእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ የተረገመ ነውና ሬሳው በእንጨት ላይ አይደር” [ዘዳ ፳፩፥፳፪፡፳፫]

የጥንት ሮማውያን ወንጀለኞችን በመስቀል ተሰቅለው እንዲሞቱ ማድረግ ልማዳቸው ነበር፡፡ክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ለድኅነተ ዓለም ከመሰቀሉ በፊት የእርግማን ምልክት የነበረው የመስቀል ታሪክ ጌታችን ከተሰቀለበት በኃላ ግን ታሪኩ ተቀይሯል፡፡

በጌታችን ቀኝና ግራ የተሰቀሉት የሁለቱ ወንበዴዎች ከስቅላት በፊትና በኃላ ያላቸው አስገራሚ ታሪክ:

✞✞✞

ሁለቱ ወንበዴዎች ጥጦስ በቀኙ የተሰቀለው ( ፍያታዊ ዘየማን ) እና ዳክርስ በግራው የተሰቀለው ( ፍያታዊ ዘፀጋ ) :- መተዳደሪያቸው ቅሚያ ነበር። ጌታችን እመቤታችን ዮሴፍ እና ሰሎሜ ከገሊላ በወጡ ጊዜ ወንበዴዎቹ ተከትለዋቸው በበረሃ ቢፈልጓቸውም አስከ ስድስት ቀን አላገኙዋቸውም ነበር። በሰባተኛው ቀን አገኙዋቸውና ዛሬ እግዚአብሔር ከእጃችን ጣላችሁ ብለው እየሮጡ ሄዱባቸው። ሰሎሜ አስቀድማ ልብሷን ጥላላቸው ሸሸች።

✞✞✞

ወንበዴዎቹ ከእነዮሴፍ እጅ የተገኘውን ቀምተው ከሄዱ በኃላ ጥጦስ ( በቀኙ የተሰቀለው ) ዳክርስን እንዲህ አለው ይቺ ሴት ( እመቤታችንን ማለት ነው ) የነገሥታት ወገን ትመስለኛለች: ሕፃኑም ከነቢያት አንዱ ይመስለኛል: የቀማናቸውን እንመልስላቸው? ዳክርስም ( በግራ የተሰቀለው ) ጥጦስን (በቀኝ የተሰቀለው) እንዲህ ያለውን ረኀራሄ ከየት አገኘኸው? ይህን ውንብድና ያስተማርከኝ አንተ ነህ: ሌላው ደግሞ ዛሬ የቀማነው የእኔ ድርሻ ነው የራስህን ድርሻ ወስደህ የእኔን ድርሻ እንመልስላቸው ትላለህ? አለው።

✞✞✞

እነዚህ ሁለት ቀማኞች አንድ ቀን የቀሙትን አንደኛው ሲወስድ በሌላ ቀን የቀሙትን ደግሞ ሁለተኛው ይወስድ ነበር። በዚህ ዕለት የቀሙት የዳክረስ ( በግራው የተሰቀለው ) ድርሻ ነበር። ጥጦስም ከገሊላ እስከዚህ የቀማነውን አንተ ውሰድ ይህን ለእኔ ስጠኝና ልመልስላቸው አለው። ዳክርስም በዚህ ሐሳብ ተስማማ: ዳክርስ ህፃኑ በዝናብ አብቅሎ በፀሐይ አብሰሎ ፍጥረትን የሚመግብ የሁሉ ፈጣሪ መሆኑን ባለመረዳቱ ዕድሉን አልተጠቀመበትም በትንሽ ርኀራኄ ብዙ በረከት አመለጠው ወደ እርሱ ያንዣበበውን ፀጋ ለጓደኛው ሰጠው።

✞✞✞

እመቤታችን ሁለቱ ወንበዴዎች ቁመው በዚህ ሐሳብ ሲወያዩ አይታ ፈራች። ወንበዴ የቀማውን ይዞ ይሄዳል እንጂ ለምን ቁሞ ይማከራሉ? ምን አልባት ልጆቻቸው ሄሮድስ የገደለባቸው ሰወች ይሆናሉ በዚህ ሕፃን ምክንያት ልጆቻችን ሞቱብን ብለው ልጄን ሊገሉብኝ ይሆናል ብላ ጽኑዕ ለቅሶን አለቀሰች። ሕፃኑ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም እናቱን ድንግል ማርያምን እንዲህ አላት:- አይዞሽ እናቴ አታልቅሺ አይገሉኝም እንመልስላቸው እያሉ ነው። እኔ በቀራኒዮ ስሰቀል እነሱም በቀኜ እና በግራዬ ይሰቀላሉ አንዱ አምላክነቴን አምኖ ይድናል ሁለተኛው ግን አይድንም።

✞✞✞

ከዚህ በኃላ ጥጦስ የተባለው ወንበዴ ገንዘባቸውን መለሰላቸውና ጥጦስም ጌታን አቅፎ ይዞ ሲሄድ ሰይፉ ወድቆ ተሰበረበት። በጣም አዘነ። ጌታ የሰይፍህን ስብርባሪ ሰብስብ አለው። ጥጦስ የሰይፉን ስብርባሪ ሰበሰበ። ጌታም እንደቀድሞው ይሁንልህ አለው። ሰይፉም እንዳልተሰበረ ሆነ። ጥጦስ ሕፃኑ ከነቢያት ወገን ይመስለኛል ብሎ የገመተው ግምት እውን ሆነለት። ተአምራቱን አየና አደነቀ።

✞✞✞

ጌታ ጥጦስን እንዲህ አለው:- አዳምን ቀድመኸው ገነት ትገባለህ። ጥጦስም ሄዶ ጌታ የነገረውን ሁሉ እና ያደረገለትን ተአምራት ለጓደኛው ነገረው። ጓደኛው ግን አላመነም። ጥጦስ የተባለው ወንበዴም ጌታ በተሰቀለ ጊዜ በጌታ ቀኝ ተሰቅሎ ፀሐይ ስትጨልም አይቶ የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን አምላክነት አምኖ ” ጌታ ሆይ በመንግሥትህ በመጣህ ጊዜ አስበኝ ” አለው። ኢየሱስም እውነት እልሃለሁ ዛሬ ከእኔ ጋር በገነት ትሆናለህ አለው። የሉቃስ ወንጌል [፳፫፥፵፪] ጌታ አዳምን ቀድመኸው ገነት ትገባለህ ብሎ በጫካ የሰጠውን ተስፋ በመስቀል ላይ ፈጸመለት። ምነው ጌታችንን በወንበዴዎች መካከል ሰቀሉት ጌታስ ስለምን ተሰቀለ ቢሉ አይሁድ ጠልተውታልና ኢየሱስ ናዝራዊ ንጉሥ እንጂ ነህ ግራ ቀኝ ቢትወደድ ይገባሃል እያሉ ሲሣለቁበት ነው። ጌታችን ግን ኃላ በዕለተ ምፅአት ጊዜ ጻድቃንን በቀኝ ኃጥአንን በግራ አቁሜ የማጸድቅ የምኮንን እኔ ነኝ ሲል ነው።

  • ✞Ethiopian Christian Butchery on Easter Day/ የክርስቲያን ስጋ ቤት ፥ ለፋሲካ ዝግጅት
  • ☪️ unEthiopian Muslim Butchery/ ኢ-ኢትዮጵያዊ የሙስሊም ስጋ ቤት

The closer Ethiopians get to Easter Sunday, the bigger their celebrations and the more intense their fasting. Orthodox Christians partake in a traditional 55-day fast of all meat and animal products (abstention from animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs), and refraining from eating or drinking before 3:00 pm – with Good Friday spent in preparation for the breaking of this fast after a morning Church service.

The knife, a synecdoche of slaughtering, is an important culinary tool that is charged with the power of religious speech acts and that has a significant semiotic function in Christian-Muslim encounters in Ethiopia. The slaughtering rituals not only transform the neutral natural animal into a sacred cultural food but also invest the meat with an intense aura of disgust among followers of the other faith. The slaughtering narratives continue to manifest themselves in other public signs, namely, in the Cross and the Crescent, on butcheries, and restaurants, for example. These two universal signs are the corollaries of an anterior sign, in other words, the knife that, in the discursive realm of food and religious identity in Ethiopia, implicates the different slaughtering rituals of Orthodox Christians and Muslims.

Orthodox believers also have their own rituals for slaughtering meat, and require that all meat they eat must have been slaughtered by a Christian. In Addis Ababa, there is one Christian slaughterhouse and one Muslim one, each of which supplies all respective butchers and restaurants. At the Christian slaughterhouse, an Orthodox priest will bless all the animals with a Trinitarian blessing, a pattern that is repeated in other large towns and cities. In the countryside, this may be left to the senior male householders who pray a Trinitarian blessing over the bull, lamb or chicken before its throat is cut. Women may not fill this role.

Christian butcher shops always identify themselves with a cross painted on the stall, and Muslim shops are identified with a crescent. In many regions, Orthodox believers do not eat meat blessed by a Muslim During the 55 days of lent, Christian butcher shops are usually closed entirely, and Christian restaurants will not serve meat. True Christians don’t eat halal meat served in a Muslim restaurant.

Generally, Christians should avoid Islamic restaurants and food stores. Not only is great and devastating the spiritual harm that emanate from eating halal foods, such as meat (sacrificed to non-Christian idol gods), but the sanitation aspect of the whole Islamic culture should also be worrisome.

This is Our World Today — 08/22/2016

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on August 22, 2016

SoMuchEvilGerman Government Calls for Immediate Stockpiling of Food & Water! Prepare for Catastrophic Attack WTH!

For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.

Germany is currently on high alert after two Islamist attacks and a shooting rampage by a mentally unstable teenager last month. Berlin announced measures earlier this month to spend considerably more on its police and security forces and to create a special unit to counter cyber crime and terrorism.

The population will be obliged to hold an individual supply of food for ten days,” the newspaper quoted the government’s “Concept for Civil Defence” – which has been prepared by the Interior Ministry – as saying. The paper said a parliamentary committee had originally commissioned the civil defense strategy in 2012.

A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said the plan would be discussed by the cabinet on Wednesday and presented by the minister that afternoon. He declined to give any details on the content.

People will be required to stockpile enough drinking water to last for five days, according to the plan, the paper said. The 69-page report does not see an attack on Germany’s territory, which would require a conventional style of national defense, as likely.

However, the precautionary measures demand that people “prepare appropriately for a development that could threaten our existence and cannot be categorically ruled out in the future,” the paper cited the report as saying.

It also mentions the necessity of a reliable alarm system, better structural protection of buildings and more capacity in the health system, the paper said. A further priority should be more support of the armed forces by civilians, it added.

Germany’s Defence Minister said earlier this month the country lay in the “crosshairs of terrorism” and pressed for plans for the military to train more closely with police in preparing for potential large-scale militant attacks.

Imam Gives Cake Containing Needles and Poison to Poor People in Order to Kill Them

Ethiopians waiting in line for food

An Imam and his daughter were arrested on a charge of attempted murder after allegedly trying to kill poor people by feeding them cake containing needles and poison, according to police in Nigeria.

Lagos police said that they have arrested 50-year-old Mohammed Yusuf and 18-year-old Salamat Yusuf, after they conspired to kill dozens of beggars near their mosque. 

The two were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy.

In court, the father and his daughter pleaded not guilty to the charges. Their bail has been set at $1,556 each.

According to the police, Mohammed did not like the fact that poor people were spending time near his mosque and conspired with his daughter to get rid of them.

On Friday, Mohammed sent Salamat to distribute snacks to the beggars. When one of them tried to take a bite, he realized that something sharp was hidden inside the cake.

He took the cake apart and found needles and poison. The beggars immediately called the police and the two were arrested.

The West’s Secret Pact to Get Mideast Oil

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on February 3, 2013

“British Petroleum and The Redline Agreement”

foursomeIn this book, Edwin Black talked about the 1928 agreement signed by a consortium of oil companies that created a Western-controlled oil cartel in the Middle East which he argues is the root of decades-long struggle over power and energy supplies. He talked about the role of petroleum in the creation of Iran, Iraq, and other countries in the Middle East and in U.S. foreign policy.

BRITISH PETROLEUM and the REDLINE AGREEMENT is the third and latest entry in a series of books written by award-winning investigative journalist Edwin Black that tackles the issues surrounding automobiles, energy, and transportation. The previous two books are INTERNAL COMBUSTION and THE PLAN: HOW TO RESCUE SOCIETY THE DAY THE OIL STOPS. As with all of his other books (10 total), Black relies upon a crack research team to uncover and compile an exhaustive trove of heretofore unknown factual information and data.

The book opens with startling details of the most tragic global event to occur between the September 11th attacks and the Japanese Tsunami – the BP Oil Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It then reaches back to mid 19th century America to explain the founding of the oil industry, before moving half a world away to the troubled oil-rich vastness that became known as the Middle East. For the first time, it is possible to clearly understand the transformation of Mesopotamia into Iraq, Persia into Iran, and how a Hashemite tribal leader came to be installed as the King of Iraq, a land he had no right to rule.

BRITISH PETROLEUM and the REDLINE AGREEMENT exposes the hidden truths that led to two world wars, countless regional conflicts, millions of dead servicemen and civilians, economic depression, wide-spread health hazards and rampant global terrorism. Although I’m reluctant to describe a book of this magnitude as entertaining, it is certainly that. But more importantly, it is an instructive, fascinating account that is even more relevant today since the subject is at the heart of the current “greatest” financial depression, and because the next oil-induced world war would probably conclude with a cataclysmic exchange of nuclear weapons.

Watch this video for relevant questions and responses with Edwin Black

In his earlier book, “The War Against the Weak,” Edwin Black documents the collaboration of American corporate philanthropic organizations with Nazi Germany researchers to create a white, Nordic master race. Black has also documented the forceful sterilization of 60,000 Americans in genetic-control campaigns taking place as recently as 1900.

The journalist is an international investigative author of 80 award-winning editions in 14 languages in 65 countries. With more than one million books in print, his work focuses on genocide and hate, corporate criminality and corruption, governmental misconduct, academic fraud, philanthropic abuse, oil addiction, alternative energy and historical investigation. He has been interviewed on “Oprah,” NBC’s “Today” show, CNN’s “Wolf Blitzer Reports” and NBC’s “Dateline,” as well as leading networks in Europe and Latin America.

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on October 26, 2012

I was recently told by a wise Ethiopian monk that he had a warning dream 20 years ago to tell folks that they should avoid taking vaccines completely

Health regulators in Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Spain imposed an immediate ban on Novartis AG’s flu vaccines Thursday after possibly contaminated flu shots were found in batches in Italy,

Globalism Is Killing Us All

In the past, diseases like tuberculosis and malaria have been number one health concerns around the world.

But not anymore.

In today’s world, globalization is the number one health risk facing humanity.

A new study released this week by the Blacksmith Institute reveals, for the first time ever, the impact of industrial pollutants on communities across the planet. It found that industrial waste dump sites containing toxic horrors like lead, mercury, and chromium, poison more than 125 million people in 49 different low and middle income nations around the planet. And the authors of the study say this is a very conservative estimate and likely even more people are sickened by this rampant industrial pollution. In fact, the report says that industrial pollution is now a bigger global health problem for the world than malaria and tuberculosis.

Just look at what’s happening in places like Zamfara, Nigeria. It’s a state without children – or, at least, very few children walking around.

Why? Because hundreds of children who work in gold mines are exposed to high levels of lead.  Back in March of 2010, the organization Doctors Without Borders arrived on the scene in Zamfara and found that hundreds of children had died from lead poisoning and thousands more were diseased by it.  Mortality rates in some villages were as high as 43%.

This is a genocide carried out by transnational corporations that have no restraints on how they operate in what were once sovereign nations. And ultimately, this is a consequence of globalism.

Plain and simple, globalization is the empowering of transnational corporations and the neutering of sovereign governments to keep their populations safe from these transnational corporate behemoths.

Population Control Tool: Famine?

  • The Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy, by Lonnie Wolfe


Special Report EIR (Executive Intelligence Review) March 10, 1981


Investigations by EIR have uncovered a planning apparatus operating outside the control of the White House whose sole purpose is to reduce the world’s population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any other means necessary. This apparatus, which includes various levels of the government is determining U.S. foreign policy. In every political hotspot — El Salvador, the so-called arc of crisis in the Persian Gulf, Latin America, Southeast Asia and in Africa- the goal of U.S. foreign policy is population reduction. The targeting agency for the operation is the National Security Council’s Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. Its policy-planning group is in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Population Affairs, established in 1975 by Henry Kissinger. This group drafted the Carter administration’s Global 2000 document, which calls for global population reduction, and the same apparatus is conducting the civil war in El Salvador as a conscious depopulation project.

“There is a single theme behind all our work-we must reduce population levels,” said Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State Department’s Office of Population Affairs (OPA). “Either they [governments] do it our way, through nice clean methods or they will get the kind of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran, or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it “The professionals,” said Ferguson, “aren’t interested in lowering population for humanitarian reasons. That sounds nice. We look at resources and environmental constraints. We look at our strategic needs, and we say that this country must lower its population-or else we will have trouble.

So steps are taken. El Salvador is an example where our failure to lower population by simple means has created the basis for a national security crisis. The government of El Salvador failed to use our programs to lower their population. Now they get a civil war because of it…. There will be dislocation and food shortages. They still have too many people there.”

Civil wars are somewhat drawn-out ways to reduce population, the OPA official added. “The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa or through disease like the Black Death,” all of which might occur in El Salvador. Ferguson’s OPA monitors populations in the Third World and maps strategies to reduce them. Its budget for FY 1980 was $190 million; for FY 198l, it will be $220 million. The Global 2000 report calls for doubling that figure. The sphere of Kissinger In 1975, OPA was brought under a reorganized State Department Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific Affairs– a body created by Henry Kissinger.

The agency was assigned to carry out the directives of the NSC Ad Hoc Group. According to an NSC spokesman, Kissinger initiated both groups after discussion with leaders of the Club of Rome during the 1974 population conferences in Bucharest and Rome. The Club of Rome, controlled by Europe’s black nobility, is the primary promotion agency for the genocidal reduction of world population levels. The Ad Hoc Group was given “high priority” by the Carter administration, through the intervention of National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretaries of State Cyrus Vance and Edmund Muskie.

According to OPA expert Ferguson, Kissinger initiated a full about-face on U.S. development policy toward the Third World. “For a long time,” Ferguson stated, “people here were timid” They listened to arguments from Third World leaders that said that the best contraceptive was economic reform and development. So we pushed development programs, and we helped create a population time bomb. “We are letting people breed like flies without allowing for natural causes to keep population down. We raised the birth survival rates, extended life-spans by lowering death rates, and did nothing about lowering birth rates.

That policy is finished. We are saying with Global 2000 and in real policy that you must lower population rates. Population reduction and control is now our primary policy objective- then you can have some development.”Accordingly, the Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific Affairs has consistently blocked industrialization policies in the Third World, denying developing nations access to nuclear energy technology–the policies that would enable countries to sustain a growing population. According to State Department sources, and Ferguson himself, Alexander Haig is a “firm believer” in population control.

“We will go into a country,” said Ferguson, “and say, here is your goddamn development plan. Throw it out the window. Start looking at the size of your population and figure out what must be done to reduce it.”If you don’t like that, if you don’t want to choose to do it through planning, then you’ll have an El Salvador or an Iran, or worse, a Cambodia.”According to an NSC spokesman, the United States now shares the view of former World Bank President Robert McNamara that the “population crisis” is a greater threat to U.S. national security interests than “nuclear annihilation.” “Every hot spot in the world corresponds to a population crisis point,” said Ferguson who would rename Brzezinski’s arc of crisis doctrine the “arc of population crisis.”

This is corroborated by statements in the NSC Ad Hoc Group’s April 1980 report. There is “an increased potential for social unrest, economic and political instability, mass migration and possible international conflicts over control of land and resources,” says the NSC report. It then cites “demographic pressures” as key to understanding “examples of recent warfare in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, El Salvador. Honduras, and Ethiopia, and the growing potential forinstability in such places as Turkey, the Philippines, Central America, Iran, and Pakistan.” Through extraordinary efforts, the Ad Hoc Group and OPA estimate that they may be able to keep a billion people from being born through contraceptive programs.

But as the Ad Hoc Group’s report states, the best efforts of the Shah of Iran to institute “clean programs” of birth control failed to make a significant dent in the country’s birth rate. The promise of jobs, through an ambitious industrialization program, encouraged migration toward “overcrowded cities” like Teheran. Now under Ayatollah Khomeini, the “clean programs” have been dismantled. The government may make progress because it has a program “to induce up to half of Teheran’s 6 million residents to relocate, as well as possible measures to keep rural migrants from moving to the cities.” Behind the back of the President Ferguson and others involved with the OPA and NSC group maintain that the United States will continue a foreign policy based on a genocidal reduction of the world’s population.

“We have a network in place of co-thinkers in the government,” said the OPA case officer. “We keep going, no matter who is in the White House.” But Ferguson reports that the “White House” does not really understand what they are saying and that the President “thinks that population policy means how do we speed up population increase. “As long as no one says differently,” said Ferguson, “we will continue to do our jobs. “

Greed – The Root of All Evil

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on May 7, 2009


How greed outstripped need

greedevilAmerican culture set us up for the economic fall, psychologists say.

http://www.apa.org/monitor/2009/01/consumerism.html

As the world slipped into economic meltdown, the nation started talking about greed: greedy lenders, greedy Wall Street executives, greedy CEOs and greedy Americans who used credit to finance untenable lifestyles.

Greed may very well have driven much of the economic crisis, says University of Rochester social psychologist Richard Ryan, PhD. But does the blame fall on the individual, or on our increasingly materialistic culture?

“America has an economic system set up to create the kind of mess we’ve seen recently,” says social psychologist Tim Kasser, PhD, of Knox College in Galesburg, Ill. “Our form of capitalism encourages materialistic values, and the research shows that people high on materialism … are more likely to engage in unethical business behaviors and manipulate people for their own purposes.”

In fact, American corporate capitalism—the highly competitive economic system embraced by the United States as well as England, Australia and Canada—encourages materialism more than other forms of capitalism, according to a study by Hebrew University of Jerusalem psychologist Shalom Schwartz, PhD. He compared the values held by people in countries with more competitive forms of capitalism with the values of folks in countries that have a more cooperative style of capitalism, including Austria, Germany and Norway. These countries rely more on strategic cooperation among the various players in the economy and society to solve their economic problems, such as unemployment, labor and trade issues, rather than relying mostly on free-market competition as the United States does.

As expected, citizens who live in more competitive free market systems cared more about money, power and achievement than people who live under more cooperative systems. Research also supports the notion that the more people care about money and power, the less they care about community and relationships. A study by Kasser, University of Victoria psychologist Fred Grouzet, PhD, and colleagues, for example, asked students in 15 countries about the goals they value most, including community feeling, financial success and physical health. They found they could chart those values onto a kind of pie with some values—money versus community and relationships, for example—in direct competition with each other.

“Of course we can care about community and money,” Kasser. “But as money becomes important—the bigger its slice of the pie—the desire to help other people tends to become less important.”

University of Minnesota psychologist Katherine Vohs, PhD, demonstrated this idea in a series of studies in which she primed participants to think about having large amounts of money. Compared with a group of students who were primed to think about neutral concepts or insufficient funds, participants with wealth on their minds were less helpful at, for example, picking up spilled pencils, and were less generous, for instance, donating less to charity. These participants were also more insular, choosing to sit farther away from a colleague or work independently rather than in a team.

Money and community are inherently incompatible because they tap into two fundamentally different motivational systems, says Kasser. Helping the community and forming personal relationships satisfy intrinsic psychological needs while financial success satisfies extrinsic needs of rewards and praise.

And for those motivated by rewards, America’s corporate incentive system may even encourage unethical behavior, says Ryan. Investment banks, mortgage companies and other industries that fueled the economic downturn reward employees for specific outcomes—say, selling more mortgages or obtaining high quarterly profits—rather than other aspects of job performance. Research shows that the people who are offered these types of rewards take the shortest route to reach their goal, whether it’s ethical or not, Ryan says.

“Rather than rewarding good practices, we’ve been rewarding outcomes, however they’re attained,” says Ryan. “And that’s driven a lot of greedy behavior from folks who wouldn’t normally act that way.”
