Over –Population
The existence of too many people in a given area to allow them to maintain a given plan of living.
Organizational Man
W.H White identified a new breed of business executives working for large corporations whose lives were dominated by their firms. Firms demanded total commitment and expected executives to move from town to town even between continents as they shifted from post to post. The more successful executive, the more moves he made as he spiraled upwards within a firm. The total dedication of organization men meant that they adopted their personalities to fit the bureaucratic organizational environment. They had no roots in any local community, no real friends and little contact with their extended families.
Other directedness
The concept was introduced by Reissman.The other directed person depends exclusively on constant approval of others for confirmation of his or her self image. This confirmed personality is seen as the product of mass consumption society.
