1. Introduction<br />

Famous Scottish pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> moral philosophy, Adam Smith, was among the<br />

first to be clear and plausible if the moral and honest <strong>in</strong>dividuals pursu<strong>in</strong>g their own<br />

<strong>in</strong>terests, are work<strong>in</strong>g to the benefit society as a whole. Perfection requires a difficult<br />

process <strong>of</strong> creation, also a 'struggle' with the producer <strong>of</strong> raw materials to facilitate new<br />

goods, new services and experiences. Of tobacco products, services, porn, firearms and<br />

chemical warfare agents can be both legal and market goods and also pr<strong>of</strong>itable, but<br />

they are the most dubious social value and also the 'pure' goods or means <strong>of</strong> decivilization.<br />

The market should systematically respond to requests emanat<strong>in</strong>g from the<br />

non-economic environment (Ionescu, 2006). Values should govern our personality and<br />

actions. Crisis is the symptom <strong>of</strong> modernity, among others, and moral crisis. Economic<br />

development and <strong>in</strong>dustrialization have led to a deepen<strong>in</strong>g crisis. Marketers are <strong>in</strong> a<br />

position to address the follow<strong>in</strong>g issues relat<strong>in</strong>g to:<br />

Privacy: all <strong>in</strong>formation and seek to protect our own existence <strong>in</strong> the current<br />

century <strong>in</strong> which we are assaulted 24 hours from 24 media outlets, telephones, e / spam,<br />

banner ads on the Internet, etc (Bird, 2007).<br />

Debt: we are all encouraged and helped to spend more, we buy luxury products,<br />

giv<strong>in</strong>g us the conditions (<strong>in</strong> Romania deceptively…casual payment).<br />

Natural Environment: huge quantities from packag<strong>in</strong>g, especially plastic,<br />

acquisition excess product and pollution are a direct consequence <strong>of</strong> consumerism.<br />
