"ism"	Definition	Specific Example from this time period (Explain)	Specific Example from this time period (Explain)	Specific Example from this time period (Explain)
Liberalism	Ideology centered on individual rights, free markets, limited government, and political equality	Economic: Adam Smith (1770s)<br>Smith's The Wealth of Nations laid out free-market liberalism, arguing that unregulated competition and the "invisible hand" of the market would drive prosperity, with minimal government intervention.	Political: John Locke (late 1600s)<br>Locke's Two Treatises of Government established liberal principles of natural rights (life, liberty, property), social contract theory, and the right to overthrow unjust governments.	John Stuart Mill (1850s)<br>Mill's On Liberty expanded liberal thought to defend individual freedom of speech, expression, and self-determination, arguing that state power should only limit actions that harm others.
Socialism	Ideology focused on collective ownership of production, economic equality, and reducing class disparities	Fourier: Charles Fourier (early 1800s)<br>A utopian socialist, he proposed cooperative "phalanxes"—shared living and working communities—where labor would be voluntary, and wealth would be distributed equitably to eliminate poverty and exploitation.	Owen: Robert Owen (early 1800s)<br>A utopian socialist, he reformed his New Lanark textile mill to provide workers with fair wages, housing, and education, advocating for collective ownership of industry to end capitalist exploitation.	Tristan: Flora Tristan (1830s-1840s)<br>A socialist and feminist, she argued that gender equality and workers' rights were interconnected, calling for working-class solidarity across genders to challenge capitalist and patriarchal systems.
Romanticism	Cultural movement emphasizing emotion, individualism, nature, and rejection of Enlightenment rationality	Poetry: William Wordsworth (late 1700s-early 1800s)<br>His Lyrical Ballads (with Samuel Coleridge) defined Romantic poetry, focusing on ordinary people, nature as a source of spiritual truth, and personal emotional experience.	Art: Caspar David Friedrich (early 1800s)<br>His landscape paintings (e.g., Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog) emphasized the sublime power of nature and individual introspection, core Romantic themes.	Music: Ludwig van Beethoven (early 1800s)<br>His later symphonies (e.g., Symphony No. 9) shifted from classical form to dramatic, emotional expression, reflecting Romantic individualism and passion.
