Tocqueville, Emerson and Bellah On Individualism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Americans have long admired the spirit of individualism, which the resources of this nation have supported. There was a seemingly inexhaustible supply of land and wilderness to support a lifestyle apart from the conformity of established communities. But at the end of the twentieth century land is not endless and a relationship with society is inescapable. Balancing individual rights against the concerns and needs of the community is illustrated in such controversies as random road blocks to test for drunk drivers, limitations in speech when it comes to pornography, curfews for teenagers, and rationing of health care. Although this issue has immediacy, the tension between the individual and the community has long been recognized. Alexis de Tocqueville analyzed the pitfalls of individualism when he wrote "Democracy in America," while Ralph Waldo Emerson, in "Self-Reliance," praised the diversity, nonconformity, and individualism of Americans. Robert Bellah addressed religious individualism in his book entitled "Habits of the Heart." Is there such a thing as too much individualism? Does a community have rights? Do the rights of the individual outweigh those of the community? Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Today's Need for Ethics Education
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper arguing in favor of providing ethics training in business. Modern business and nineteenth-century philosophy would seem on the surface to have little in common, but the increasing complexities of business in the face of technological advance and globalization provide clear indication that they need to be considered together and as a whole. Increasing competition in business has resulted in the situation that there is little margin for error in corporate decision making; decisions at all levels need to be made quickly and they need to be ethically based. Training those currently in business by means of ethics seminars is an effective way to introduce the old philosophers to today's managers. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
