Concept describing the control/subjugation of the general population by means of large corporations with an excess of power, societal standards that have been deemed "proper," and the indoctrination of poor livelihoods as the ideal.
The idea of making your job your entire life is Big Society, life should be worth living.
Big Society is combated by the desire to grow as a person emotionally, and exercise both your mind and your body to reach your fullest potential.
Big Society examples:
Large corporations
societal standards
excess impurities in food
Willingness to accept failure
Not Big Society:
Celebrating the arts
Celebrating the sciences
Improving your mind
Improving your body
Enjoying your life
traveling
Note:
This is not to say "TV is bad, never be inside, never work in an office, never eat junk food." Everything is okay in moderation, just not all the time because you can hurt yourself.
What matters is that you are making the most of what life has given you.

Person 1: Big Society wants us to grow up, get a job, have kids, and die. I'd rather see the world and experience new things instead of wasting my time.
Person 2: Big society doesn't want us to have kids?
Person 1: No, children are great if you want them. The point is that Big Society wants to reduce us to solely that.
Person 1: Have you seen the ingredients in this peanut butter and this loaf of bread?
Person 2: Yeah, all those extra ingredients like too much sugar and seed oils is Big Society not caring about our physical wellbeing.
Person 1: How's your new office job?
Person 2: A corporate nightmare. Big Society has me waking up, going to work, and coming home, day in and day out. Life is meant to be more interesting.
Person 1: I love sitting inside, watching tv all day, and eating cheap fried food.
Person 2: That's pretty Big Society of you. I'd rather see my friends, experience nature, travel somewhere new, and learn about a new topic.
Person 1: Have you seen this new movie?
Person 2: The Big Society blockbuster by redacted company or the well-made art piece that this director put time and thought into?
Person 1: Definitely not the blockbuster. Big Society just wants to make money off us, not produce real content.
