Journal 69 - Consumption and hedonism as main elements of a set of values
Piotr Sztompka considers that global societies aspire to bigger and bigger consumption. On the other hand, these societies endeavor and prefer hedonistic values. At present, both groups of values begin playing the most important role in human life.
These values aren’t unfamiliar to me, but they aren’t number one and number two in my personal life.
Professor Piotr Sztompka is a remarkable Polish sociologist. He plays an important role in contemporary worldwide sociology, too.

I'm not sure how consumption and hedonism are opposite (which is what you seem to imply)...
Iam sorry. I didn't use concurrently the phrase "On the other hand..." I wanted to tell that "consumption" and "hedonism" are two values which are predominant in our contemporary world.
They aren't opposed values, but they appeared and exist concurrently.
I am sorry in the second sentence in my comment should be word "correctly" against word "concurrently". I don't know how I can change it if it was published.
