Eng. 101 Clark Su22: Find scholarly sources

How does 'rugged individualism' show up in contemporary life?

CQ Researcher is a library database where you will find pro/con arguments on social issues that might stem from the myth of rugged individualism, such as "challenges related to low-income living," or loneliness. Click the image below to read the article.

Search for topics

The library database titled Academic Search Complete is our largest collection of scholarly articles and covers many topics, so it is a good place to start your research. Try this two-part research strategy. First, explore topic ideas in the database, using the terms below (one at a time). Limit your search to Magazines on the left of your search results.

  • Individualism
  • Collectivism (social psychology)

Once you have found an issue that interests you, search the database again for the specific topic you are considering, such as loneliness or housing insecurity.
