Economic rise of individualism and individualistic thinking

 

In an essay of at least 400 words, make an argument linking the rise of individualism and individualistic thinking in any two of the economic, political, religious, or social (reform) realms that we have considered in this unit. For example, you might argue that changes in the economy, including the rise in mobility and westward movement, helped drive changes in political thinking and the end of property requirements. Or you might argue that changes in the economy helped drive the Second Great Awakening – a movement of individual religious conviction. Or you might argue that a shift in religious ideas drove a change in the thinking of a reform movement towards a more individual conception of a social problem. Whichever two examples you choose, each should be from a different “realm” (economic, political, religious, or social).

Your essay should include:

• A thesis that briefly describes the two changes you will be linking in your essay. A quality thesis will include brief but specific detail.

• One paragraph describing the first of the two changes you are considering. Make sure that your description includes a discussion of the shift towards individualism.

• A second paragraph describing a shift towards political, spiritual, or social (reform) ideas of individualism. This description should link the political, spiritual, or social (reform) changes you described in the previous paragraph.

Sample Solution

unskilled labor affixed to agriculture in LDCs, the high increase in productivity means the country would be able to export primary goods and in turn gain access to foreign exchange* i.e hard currency. We will discuss the use of foreign exchange at a later stage in the essay. INDUSTRIAL POLICIES A late developing state broadly needs two steps to become a successful sustainable industrial growing economy. The first step would be bringing Industry up to par with global competitors, and the second would be introducing competition as a mechanism to increase discovery. The former obviously needs to precede the latter for effective and sustained growth. In the interest to achieve the goal of brining domestic industries up to par, the state would need to bring about successful ‘Import substitution’, which can be done through levying two major policies –Tariff Protection and Subsidies. Tariff protection is fiscally most feasible way to promote the sunrise industry in the country. High import tax on automobiles in Japan after World War II is an example of how a state policy can nozzle the imports into the country. This effort was made to give a boost to Import Substitution. Japan’s automobiles may be a popular case of high import tariffs, but long before that, Britain in the 14th century, had aggressively shielded it’s infant industry in the same method, and levied high tariffs on manufacturing products even as late as the 1820s (Chang, H.J., 2010).
