The Stagnation and Regression of the American Ethos

Roger Tawney says "behavior and behavior" and that the gift of ... ... [redemption] is given. "This is a typical way of thinking of Puritans from the 16th century to the 17th century. The riches of wealth and matter are not a sign of working hard, but God's grace, mediocity is a sign of a curse. Success and wealth are not only admired but sometimes worshiped. Regardless of credibility, Puritan equated wealth and wealth. There are few examples of perfect stagnation of human being as accurate and descriptive as F.

When the strength of progress stagnates and destroys the present situation, ordinary people will retreat. why? There is a desire to release it from a system that does not provide much, if at all, as it is at least retreated. At least in return, order, stability, security, and even promises to become top of the hierarchy again. It is easy to believe in people who promise to break a broken system, rather than doing today's progressive strengths. I believe that a system that hurts your life will somehow work miraculously for you.

During the past few decades, a strange observation surprised me whenever I saw American culture. It looks even more childish every year. This is not only a social one but also an emotional retrograde culture such as "returning to the performance and thinking like a child." I will talk about how these two are related. I start with what hits your surface. Let's first think about self expression. So far Americans look like little children. I'm sorry. Someone has to say. Sweat pants and yoga pants, oversized suits and Untuckits do not pay attention to whether the garment does not match even if it is shaped - this lack of self-care is not only ideal but also so accepted in other cultures not. This is a small Soviet, give up expressing oneself. Is personal performance still important? Am I not fair?

Stagnation creates authoritarianism. What does it mean that one-third of Americans abandon voting rights of about $ 5,000? This means that the stagnation of the economy will create a dictatorship. When people become poor - absolutely and relatively - they lose confidence in democracy. Democracy can provide them with effective social contracts and improve their living standards. They think that they are willing to look like foolish bargains in the future - but that then makes sense. Democracy for a better life? An effective tyranny? Democracy no longer represents you, why? In this way, the strong people - people wish to have a better life - democracy can no longer provide these lives - raise, dominate and shape the destiny of the country. This is the story of the 1930s, whether it is in Germany, Italy, Japan or Russia.
