Spiral Dynamics - Stage Orange Notes

It's individual achievement. Improving the self. All the actions you undertake are only for your own personal gain.

This is a shift from the blue worldview which was about sacrificing yourself for the good of civilization. Orange is not concerned with the afterlife. All it matters is that it lives the good life here on earth.

With Orange comes the rise of:

Business
Consumerism
Secularism
The separation of church and state.
Popular culture
Scientism (Like science turned into the new religion)
Success oriented self-help.
The rise of secular democracies. As opposed to blue which had a more theocratic form of government.

Stage Orange values

Achievement, Success and excellence
Climbing to the top of the hierarchy
Obsessed at being number one. Striving to be the best, a winner.
Improving one's position in life
