refimprove date September 2009 Orphan date February 2009 The term Entrepreneur of Life reflects a basic Fads and trends trend in today s society which demands people to take on a more active role in life, i.e. in all of life s dimensions. As traditional patterns of living and decision making increasingly lose their power to provide individuals with a sense of orientation and security, while the number of options and alternative courses of action to choose from is rising, more and more decisions and choices are left to the individual. The erosion of relieving certainties and institutions does not only open up the potential of increased opportunities to design and create one s own life but it is inevitably linked to an increasing formal pressure to actively organize and manage life, a need for self governing. This double edged and ambivalent process of modernization provides individuals with growing liberties when it comes to deciding how to shape and create their lives contents , but at the same time they are less and less free to decide whether to do so form and in this sense whether they want to act as an entrepreneur of life. Hence, by transforming obligations and traditions into options some among a number of multiple options that can be chosen , processes of individualization create the basic conditions for being an entrepreneur of life. But as the motor of the dynamics of civilization they also tend to transform life in all its length and breadth pushing it into a direction ... and to choose, to shape and create one s life increases.

one source date July 2010 A moral entrepreneur is a person who seeks to influence a group to adopt or maintain a Norm sociology norm . The moral entrepreneur may press for the creation or enforcement of a norm for any number of reasons, altruistic or selfish. Some examples of moral entrepreneurs are MADD mothers against drunk driving , the anti tobacco lobby, and the pro life movement. The term moral entrepreneur was coined by Howard S. Becker . In his view, moral entrepreneurs fall into roughly two categories rule creators , and rule enforcers . Rule creators can be seen as moral crusaders, who are concerned chiefly with the successful persuasion of others, but are not concerned with the means by which this persuasion is achieved. Successful moral crusades are generally dominated by those in the upper social strata of society Becker,1963 . There is political competition in which these moral crusaders originate crusades aimed at generating reform, based on what they think is moral, therefore defining deviance. Moral crusaders must have power, public support, generate public awareness of the issue, and be able to propose a clear and acceptable solution to the problem Becker, 1963 . After a time, crusaders become dependent upon experts or professionals, who serve to legitimize a moral creed on technical or scientific grounds. Rule enforcers, such as policemen, are compelled by two drives the need to justify their own role, and the need to win respect in interactions. They are in a bind if they show too much effectiveness one might say they are not needed, and if they show too little effectiveness one might say they are failing. Rule enforcers just feel the need to enforce the rule because that is their job they are not really concerned with the content of the rule. As rules are changed, something that was once acceptable may now be punished and vice versa. Such officials ... Entrepreneur de morale ... more details
