Liberal individualism generally functioned as the essential model focusing on the American welfare. Davies’ book called “From Opportunity to Entitlement” monitors the shifting from opportunity liberalism to entitlement liberalism during President Johnson’s war on poverty.

Racism is planted into the minds of young white americans, but if nothing is done to correct the hateful thinking at a young age, there are plenty of ways that adults will validate this type of thinking later in life. As an individualist nation, it’s easy for Americans to remove the events within the home from the spectrum of society as a whole.

A human induced global ecological crisis is occurring, threatening the stability of this earth and its inhabitants. The best path to address environmental issues both effectively and morally is a dilemma that raises concerns over which political values are needed to stop the deterioration of the natural environment. Climate change; depletion of resources; overpopulation; rising sea levels; pollution; extinction of species is just to mention a few of the damages that are occurring. The variety of
