One of the greatest episodes in recent history where people had to deal with the concept of used and new is the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall where people, within a short space of time, took part to an important change not only historical but also in terms of material culture.

The comprehension of the adjectives new/used have a different meaning in the two eras: artisan and industrial. We can say that in the artisan era new things were realated to the functionality, it was something that has a new function what was considered new, instead in the industrial era something new is no longer associated to function but to fashion and esthetics. Also the duration of objects in artisan era was longer than in the industrial one, what means that the period of use of objects is shorter now than in artisan era.

The New Age movement is a spiritual and quasi-religious Western movement that developed in the latter half of the 20th century. Its central precept revolves around "drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and then infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum mechanics" in order to create "a spirituality without borders or confining dogmas" that is inclusive and pluralistic. Another of its primary traits is holding to "a holistic worldview," thereby emphasising that the Mind, Body and Spirit are interrelate and that there is a form of Oneness and unity throughout the universe.

Degrowth is a political, economic, and social movement based on environmentalist, anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist ideas. Degrowth thinkers and activists advocate for the downscaling of production and consumption—the contraction of economies—as overconsumption lies at the root of long term environmental issues and social inequalities. Key to the concept of degrowth is that reducing consumption does not require individual martyring and a decrease in well-being. Rather, 'degrowthists' aim to maximize happiness and well-being through non-consumptive means—sharing work, consuming less, while devoting more time to art, music, family, culture and community.

Serge Latouche, expert of economy and social connection between North and South of the World, is one of the main exponent of the Degrowth teory. In his book Petit traité de la décroissance sereine, (Mille et Une Nuits, 2007) he developed a theorical approach to the Degrowth, the so called 8 :

1. Re-evaluate
2. Re-conceptualize
3. Re-structure
4. Re-localize
5. Re - distribute
6. Reduce
7. Re - use
8. Recycle
