Having the social value of rugged individualism is harmful to marginalized communities because those who share those values believe the community should be able to provide for themselves, and that the community does not need resources from the government. The social view of autonomy is harmful to marginalized communities in a similar way that rugged individualism is, those who hold autonomy as a social value believe that a marginalized community should be self-governed and does not need access to any external resources. Self-sufficiency social values can

    Like permissive parents, authoritative parents are responsive, nurturing, and involved. But unlike permissive parents, authoritative parents don’t let their children get away with bad behaviour. Authoritative parents take a firm stand, anticipating that their kids should carry on dependably. Like tyrant guardians, legitimate guardians uphold rules. As a psychologist, I feel that authoritative parenting style helps in developing their social behaviour while authoritarian degrades it.

  • Autonomy In Social Psychology

    309 Words  | 2 Pages

People feel autonomous when their goals and behaviors are aligned with their innermost desires, interests, and ideas; when their actions are endorsed at the highest level of self-reflection (Legault, Ray, Hudgins, Pelosi, & Shannon, 2016). Thus, rather than feeling pressured, those who feel autonomous are motivated by personal values and interests. Instead of perceiving their self-worth as contingent upon social approval and meeting expectations, autonomously functioning individuals feel free to express who they really are (Legault et al., 2016).
