QUICK FIX SOCIETY Janet Mendell Goldstein Quick Fix “Quick fix” refers to a hastily-made solution that alleviates a problem only for the time being (getting things done quickly without taking into consideration the long time benefit). American People’s View of time Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor. People plan it, save it, waste it, kill it, they are also charging for it. It is a precious commodity. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. They want every minute to account. American View of time “We are slaves to nothing but the clock.” “Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” (Benjamin Franklin) “Time is money.” Thesis The Americans go to one extreme of their time-saving value: they are in such a hurry to save time that they even ignore the real sense of spending time. The author calls upon all of us to slow down and enjoy what nature offers us, what mankind has left us and rediscover life.
