ACLAIM METHOD<\/b><\/p>\n
Author<\/b>: Author\u2019s name is Comte de Saint-Simon.\u00a0 Saint-Simon is considered to be a French social theorist (Comte de Saint-Simon 1).\u00a0 He was not in support of a Laissez-faire economy.\u00a0 Instead, Saint-Simon wanted \u201can industrialized state directed by science,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 1).\u00a0 Furthermore, Saint-Simon wanted industrialists to become enlightened and after their enlightenment, for he felt that they could help the poor.\u00a0 He also fought in the American Revolution.<\/p>\n
Context<\/b>: The article does not say when exactly it was written, but on Encyclopedia Britannica they make mention of many of his works.\u00a0 A few of his successful works were in 1803, 1814, and\u00a0 1816-18.\u00a0 It claims that his work in 1803 spoke to the importance of science, which this piece does. ((Encyclopedia Britannica, Henri de Saint-Simon)).<\/p>\n
Language<\/b>: Saint-Simon seemed to be challenging the way Europe currently stood economically when he wrote this piece.\u00a0 The tone of his voice could be characterized as frustrated, for he was not happy with the way Europe continued to use this Laissez-faire attitude.<\/p>\n
Audience<\/b>: He claims that Europe relies on this Laissez-faire attitude and that it is considered to be \u201cthe inevitable solution,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 2).\u00a0 Saint-Simon disagreed with this point and wants Europe to change their ways.\u00a0 Due to the fact that St. Simon disagreed with this Laissez-faire mentality and constantly mentioned \u201chonest and hard-working men,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 2) as \u201cinnumerable victims,\u201d (Comte de Saint- Simon 2) it seems as though Saint-Simon was speaking to the masses, as he wanted them to change their line of thinking and stop going along with the Laissez-faire attitude.<\/p>\n
Intent:<\/b> As stated above, it seems that Saint-Simon\u2019s intent was to encourage the masses to look around and see how they were being manipulated by the Laissez-faire economy and his piece showed a way in which they could improve the European economy.<\/p>\n
Message<\/b>: Laissez-faire is defined as, \u201cpolicy of minimum governmental interference in the economic affairs of individuals and society,\u201d ((Encyclopedia Britannica, laissez-faire)). \u00a0However, while many Europeans found this to be \u201cinevitable solution,\u201d Saint-Simon disagreed and stated that a Laissez-fair economy created a \u201cstruggle to the death,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 2) mentality amongst Europeans.\u00a0 Furthermore, by creating this mentality, Saint-Simon claimed that while some individuals may be successful, \u201cthe price is the complete ruin of innumerable victims.\u201d\u00a0 In fact, because many working men become \u201cinnumerable victims,\u201d Saint-Simon claimed that this caused people to go to the endth measure, for \u201cmore than honesty and hard work are needed,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 2).\u00a0 Saint-Simon concludes that when working men see that hard work does not get enough done, they resort to deceitful tactics and become \u201clost to humanity,\u201d (Comte de Saint- Simon 2).\u00a0 Therefore, because working men, seeing that there hard-work was useless, turn to drastic measures and lose their humanity.\u00a0 This, Saint-Simon argued, is a major problem occurring in Europe and will only be fixed if the Laissez-faire economy is done away with.<\/p>\n
His solution to this, was, as the introduction stated, \u201can industrialized state directed by science, and an enlightened class of industrialists to address the needs of the poor,\u201d (Comte de Saint-Simon 1).\u00a0 While this solution had flaws, for Saint-Simon acknowledges these very flaws in his introduction, he believed that a state which was directed by science could not be any more flawed than a Laissez-faire economy, which continuously hurt the humanity of Europe and brought chaos to Europe.<\/p>\n
