Subject: Needs for belonging, self-expression, and a participant role ...

It appears that the post-WWII generation has a different value  
orientation than earlier generations. The result is increasing needs  
for belonging, self-expression, and a participant role. This suggests  
that my proposal for a group-oriented marketing strategy for cryonics  
will be more effective with this generation than the with the earlier  
individualistic survival oriented one.

During the period since World War II, advanced
industrial societies have attained much higher real-income levels than  
ever
before in history. Coupled with the emergence of the welfare state,  
this has
brought about an historically unprecedented situation: Most of their  
popu-
lation does not live under conditions of hunger and economic insecurity.
This has led to a gradual shift in which needs for belonging, self- 
expression,
and a participant role in society became more prominent.
