Individualism, Gradient , Groups Individualist societies are rooted in a long-evolved response to tough environments and often isolated population groups. They are typical of Western Eurasian regions with short growing seasons and mountainous topography, cut with major rivers and almost saturated with temperate forests. Small family units and low birth rates as well as ability driven market trade systems developed to meet the demands of these regions in the ancient past. Fast forward several thousand years and a few empires and you still have an ethic ripe for the industrialism that the material technology and production demands such societies have developed, largely due to their individualist and self dependence cosmology. Powerful in the world as a result of their ability to harness material forces and often very efficient in their wielding of these forces to bring other regions into their markets, they found themselves distrusted and disliked by societies that, though many having markets of their own, had not developed supply or demand for the scope of the industrialist endeavors of the Europeans. This hostility did nothing to diminish the desire on the part of many of the non industrial regions for the level of material security afforded by industrial societies, or at least the better off elements of those societies. Governments forged therein had participation as a given mechanism but with restrictions to keep those deemed less productive, often without consideration for individual aptitude and with broad strokes, out of the controlling bodies. Ie, it was not enough to be alive but one had to gain or inherit status and keep it to be politically consequential. Nothing new here for the planet, as neither was the fact that access was far more open to host members than those brought into the market but only as base producers, not as major coordinators. To be sure, as power can corrupt and also create a fear of loosing, it can also create those who would like to have it lost by the former holder and into their own arms, even with no intention of sustaining it. The more a society becomes open to general participation in democratic process, the more members of groups formally held at bay from such process would seek to rearrange the structure to assure their permanent consequence thenceforth. To be sure market forces were not often kind to entities deemed worthy of only bottom level contribution and even kept such elements by force of law in those contexts. As in any such circumstance, collective resentment and disputes driven by non market, most often ethnic, factors arise and at some point dont seek participation in the big picture but instead to dismantle the system entirely and without concern for responsibility of existing complexities and with an eye for fragilities. In this case the *fragility* becomes the very ethic that orchestrated the initial impulse towards the massive and powerful complex system in total. Having gained more participation in the now enormous civic , ie non production, sector, even a small disaffected group can act as a block and wield affective influence over production sectors and civil sectors alike. With an agenda in conflict with the forces of production as well as the individualist ethic of the original host 'group', and coupled with that a residual or even enhanced altruism of the ancestral host group, you have an atmosphere for a perfect storm of system failure. Without a strong sense of preservation of gradient on the part of the host, the forces of dissipation have easy pickings and are often aided by the host ethic itself. Having said this it is important to say that many new participants in the society may be tremendously productive and even pivotal elements of production and material sustainability. Yet having dropped (or never having had) the segmentary opposition ethic, they are no longer (or never were) factored as part of an opposing segment, regardless of ancestral context, and are, as Individualists, vulnerable to the same dissipative forces. ALSO, many of the host ethnic group (in this case Europeans) have left their geneological associations and aligned with segments opposed to the host complex system. So it is not true that there is only an ethnic rivalry, though such is certainly at root, but has become complicated by a former host ethnic member relinquishing their own inherited association and joining with would be complex gradient reducers, formally composed only of ethnic groups kept out of participation on the basis of ethnicity. Things have become webbed in strange ways indded. Tags: individualism segmentary opposition ethic ethnic group markets family structure |

Individualism vs group think Why is it important to think as an individual? I didn't realize my camera put an advertisement on the end. damn. http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul381.html Government and Racism by Ron Paul The controversy surrounding remarks by talk show host Don Imus shows that the nation remains incredibly sensitive about matters of race, despite the outward progress of the last 40 years. A nation that once prided itself on a sense of rugged individualism has become uncomfortably obsessed with racial group identities. The young women on the basketball team Mr. Imus insulted are over 18 and can speak for themselves. It's disconcerting to see third parties become involved and presume to speak collectively for minority groups. It is precisely this collectivist mindset that is at the heart of racism. It's also disconcerting to hear the subtle or not-so-subtle threats against free speech. Since the FCC regulates airwaves and grants broadcast licenses, we're told it's proper for government to forbid certain kinds of insulting or offensive speech in the name of racial and social tolerance. Never mind the 1st Amendment, which states unequivocally that, "Congress shall make NO law." Let's be perfectly clear: the federal government has no business regulating speech in any way. Furthermore, government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combating bigotry in our society. Bigotry at its essence is a sin of the heart, and we can't change people's hearts by passing more laws and regulations. In fact it is the federal government more than anything else that divides us along race, class, religion, and gender lines. Government, through its taxes, restrictive regulations, corporate subsidies, racial set-asides, and welfare programs, plays far too large a role in determining who succeeds and who fails in our society. This government "benevolence" crowds out genuine goodwill between men by institutionalizing group thinking, thus making each group suspicious that others are receiving more of the government loot. This leads to resentment and hostility between us. The political left argues that stringent federal laws are needed to combat racism, even as they advocate incredibly divisive collectivist policies. Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity. More importantly, in a free society every citizen gains a sense of himself as an individual, rather than developing a group or victim mentality. This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Rather than looking to government to correct our sins, we should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty. http://ronpaul2008.com Tags: People individual group think religion racism terrorism hate love compassion Ron Paul Freedom bootme21 |

Urban Outfitters Shop Dropping - Mass Produced Individualism Urban Outfitters just jacks everyone else's ideas, with meaning and feeling behind them, and markets them to people who don't care. They sell "Mass Produced Individualism" to all of their clients and that's an oxymoron. We created some shirts that made a commentary on Urban Outfitters customers and filmed them buying our shirts. The ones we didn't make were purchased at the Salvation Army and put on sale for $28.00. Visit http://urbncounterfeiters.blogspot.com/ for more information.

Joe The Plumber's Populism Is Bad For Barack Obama. (Individualism Beats Socialism) "...You know, I was telling those people that were worried just last week not to worry. I sent a bulletin out to everyone. They were depressed, they were telling me they lost all faith. They were telling me that they country was moving towards Socialism and there was nothing any of us could do to stop it because after all, Barack Obama was going to win. That's what all the polls were telling us. Now, I want everyone to take a look at these photos of rallies for McCain and Sarah Palin. The crowds have never been better, the enthusiasm is the highest it's ever been. Not all of these people aren't putting up their McCain/Palin signs right now, Not all of these people are telling their neighbors or their coworkers or some stupid pollster how they are going to vote. These people know that if they do that, they might be called or considered racist, they are sick and tired of the Racial McCarthyism from the Obama campaign and now they are sick and tired of his promise of Socialism thanks to Joe The Plumber. They haven't told people that they were going to these rallies, they told their boss they had a doctor's appointment or something else. There is talk of a silent majority in this country, it is very real and no amount of poll oversampling is going to stop us. The Bradley effect is only the tip of the iceberg-this is much bigger than that. Thank God for the secret ballot in our country. This is why Obama needs the voter fraud from ACORN. This is why he gave them money from his campaign. He can't win without it. Our chances of victory are high. But everyone of us needs to get rid of this pessimism and get out on November 4th and do their Patriotic Duty. VOTE. Get out and vote everyone. That is all that is required for us to win..."

Individualism vs. Collectivism XIII. Individualism versus collectivism Individualism is "the opposite of collectivism; together they form on of the dimensions of national cultures. Individualism stands for a society in which the ties between individuals are loose: everyone is expected to look after himself or herself and his or her immediate family only." Collectivism "stands for a society in which people from birth onwards are integrated into strong cohesive ingroups, which throughout people's lifetime continue to protect them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty."
