What are values of jeffersonian liberalism

Jeffersonian democracy is a term used for the political ideals of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), the third U.S. president, and his followers from the 1790s until the presidency of Andrew Jackson in the 1830s. Jefferson advocated a political system that favored public education, free voting, free press, limited government and agrarian democracy and shied away from aristocratic rule. Although these were his personal beliefs, his presidency (1801-1809) often veered from these values.

There are several monumental changes that are currently affecting our lives and the world as we know it. Two important ones are globalization and international migration.

Globalization is a present phenomenon that has an enormous impact in the way we live our lives and understand our world. A globalized world is one in which the cultures of different places begin to resemble each other. Moreover, it is one in which people exchange ideas and culture at a distance (through trade and technology). It also leads to the spread of a dominant culture. This phenomenon resembles the Columbian Exchange, because trade also played an important role in that process. Moreover, it also resulted in the domination of Western culture and the loss of traditional ones.

Another example is that of international migration. Nowadays, a significant percentage of the population of the world lives in a place that is different from the place where they were born. When people move to a different country, they usually take their culture and traditions with them, influencing the culture of their new home. This is similar to the enormous movement of people that took place during the Columbian Exchange.
