The Psycho-Sociological Nature of Nativistic Movements and the Emergence of Cultural Growth By Simone Clemhout Cultural growth or change is perhaps a major aspect of the decline and fall of societies about which Toynbee was concerned. Being at the cross-roads of anthropology, economics, psychology and sociology it is of interest to all social sciences *. It seems that the understanding of this process would be of great help for the comprehension of the pre-conditions of economic growth. “We think of cultures as entities because patterns and unifying principles link values and provide value orientations. The processes which create value orientations are thus unifying and coordinating mechanisms for social action, including the economy, and value orientations once formed give a circum scribing framework to future action” (Belshaw, p. 112). The crux of the matter is what are these processes creating value orientations and these mechanisms for social action? The well-known studies of Max Weber are an attempt in the direction of finding such explanations. His view of the “Protestant Ethic being a “spirit” highly favorable to innovation and entrepreneurship because of the values generating such “spirit” leads to further considerations. In the process of revision of “ideas” by minorities would it be that there is “a pattern” of values necessary for the creation of such a “spirit” ? Or are there many patterns whose end result is the creation of such a “spirit” ? Is there anything pertaining exclusively to the “Western Spirit” or is it a more general phenomenon ? Is the presence of such spirit noted at other times and other places besides the Western “industrial revolution” ? The only non-Western nations which have experienced a genuine rapid economic growth are Japan, Russia, and China recently. Some of the studies made for Japan reach the conclusion that in the Japanese case a spirit of hard work in the world and an ascetic attitude towards consumption were present (Bellah, p. 119). It seems interesting to enquire beyond the Western world whether a “spirit” similar to Weber’s “Protestant Ethic” * I am very grateful for suggestions and comments to the Professors E. E.
