Es geht um die Aufzeichnung von Trends, in diesem Fall "von der Spassgesellschaft zur Sinngesellschaft". Ich werde auch den zweiten Begriff separat anfragen, da mir beide Kopfzerbrechen bereiten. Dabei scheint es sich um spezielle dt. Trend- bzw. Modebegriffe zu handeln. Weiß jemand eine passende englische Übersetzung?
Danke im Voraus,

Comment: "Thanks to all who helped. For me this solution fits perfectly, although I am still working on the fun and games. Somehow I feel consumerism should be part of that term too."

not sure whether this comprises all the aspects of "Sinngesellschaft", but the trend seems to lead into this direction.. maybe this gets the ball rolling

with a social and ethical core
"from a society based on fun and gratification to one with a social and ethical core"
I have paraphrased what I've found out about the Sinn-Gesellschaft.
The term "fun society" appears on English webpages (in speech marks).
