In his seminal 1971 book 'Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change', designer and educator Victor Papanek formulated a scathing critique of the design profession. What was Papanek's central argument regarding the social and moral role of designers?

Designers must abandon superficial consumerist styling and planned obsolescence to address genuine human needs, ecological balance, and the requirements of marginalized or impoverished populations. Designers should focus exclusively on luxury aesthetics and packaging to accelerate industrial turnover and stimulate consumer purchasing cycles. Graphic communication should eliminate all textual information in favor of purely abstract corporate symbolism designed for high-income demographics. Designers hold no moral accountability for the ecological impact or cultural toxicity of the products they package and promote.

Correct Answer:

Designers must abandon superficial consumerist styling and planned obsolescence to address genuine human needs, ecological balance, and the requirements of marginalized or impoverished populations.
