complacency

Beliebigkeit
Albert Beckmann


Mit der B. wird allgemein eine negativ belastete Neigung bezeichnet, die jemanden veranlasst, in eine Arbeit, oder einen Kommunikationsvorgang, Themen einfließen zu lassen, die willkürlich (oder besser: spontan- assoziativ) gewählt erscheinen. B. wird dann auch besonders gerne unter „beliebig austauschbar“ benutzt. Hierbei bezieht sie sich auf genregebundene Schemata, sowie auf Austauschbarkeit innerhalb eines anders definierten Systems. Beispiele dafür sind: Beliebig austauschbare Rollen eines Darstellers in einem Film, oder versetzbare Worte eines Textes sowie scheinbar würfelbare Strophen eines Liedes.

Gillian: indifference is good while complacency isn\'t in this context.

So: Trust our tradition and competence - we\'ll steer you clear of (the pool of) indifference by supplying you with top quality (products).
