He most cogently articulated this idea in "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," According to Turner how has American society evolved? These turned his attention to the great task of subduing them to the purposes of civilization, and to the task of advancing his economic and social status in the new democracy which he was helping to create. Art, literature, refinement, scientific administration, all had to give way to this Titanic labor. How is American frontier different than the European frontier? Turner's idea of the American frontier was a place open for settlement; without (generally) a strong military presence to restrict this.
It is a generalised concept that if the cause of the symptoms were tackled it would only be logical that the symptoms would then cease. The Psychodynamic theory assumes the personality is split into three parts, the id (most primitive, instinctive part we have from birth), the ego (logical, balances out the id and superego) and the superego or moral part of our personality. These areas influence our behaviour as well as the defence mechanisms of the ego, and the psychosexual stages of development. Defence mechanisms are used
Where would Andrew Carnegie’s “Lecture to Young Men” fit with the above views? a. The philosophies of the Ideology of Success and Social Darwinism dominated American thinking.

Instead, he suggested, we should look only at the external, observable causes of human behavior. Skinner used the term operant to refer to any "active behavior that operates upon the environment to generate consequences". In other words, Skinner's theory explained how we acquire the range of learned behaviors we exhibit each and every day. Bandura – Social Learning Theory The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development.

Thomas Jefferson actually had based the Declaration of Independence, which is still used and referenced today, off of John Locke’s and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s theories and beliefs “that all men are created equal…that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson). Montesquieu, author of The Spirit of the Laws, had suggested the separation of powers. The separation of powers was a form of way to control power within the government, such as; having three branches of government in the United States has helped in keeping the power very limited. Then, there was Voltaire, which has been easily said to be the most popular Enlightenment thinker, who had stated that the government cannot take away nor limit a person’s freedom of religion and speech. In the formation of the United States, this was very pressed upon, because it carried the sole-purpose of what the United States wanted to be or pictured themselves becoming.
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
