character orientation
Character orientation is the direction of strife to describe character uniformly. Character traits, miserly, intolerant, get together an orientation of character.
Theorist Eric Fromm names four different orientations, receptive, exploitative, hoarding and marketing. These orientations are affected by society, each solution to the problem of adapting to social demands.
Receptive oriented are takers, not givers. They get satisfaction from outside factors. They passively wait for others to provide them with love and attention.. They do not give these things away.
Exploitative oriented are egocentric and conceited. They do whatever they can to get what they want, including stealing or snatching something away from someone else just to get it. Exploitative are aggressive.
Hoarding save all they can, whatever. It could be love, power, someone's time. They like to have things, even if they don't need or use them. Hoarding do not like to share, they have a hard time letting things go.
Marketing orientation people do whatever they can sell themselves.
