How does Rand develop the theme that individuals who are free to think on their own can make the greatest discoveries? Support your answer with evidence from the text

In the novel The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand, the author develops the theme that individuals who are free to think on their own can make the greatest discoveries. This is a major underlying theme throughout the novel and is encapsulated in the characters of Howard Roark and his peers. Through Howard Roark’s unwavering belief in his individual autonomy, Rand illustrates that suppressed independent thinking can ultimately lead to the greatest discoveries and inventions.

The idea that independent thinking should be valued and free from external influence is encapsulated by the character of Howard Roark, who embodies this theme throughout the novel. Roark is uncompromising in his beliefs and refuses to bow to the demands of society, even when faced with adversity. This is seen in the novel when he chooses to burn down a housing project he had designed, rather than sacrifice his beliefs and bend to the demands of his employer. Here Rand advocates for the value of individualism and freedom of thought by emphasizing that this decision ultimately leads to a revolutionary discovery. In the following scene, Roark’s decision has paid off and his design is finally accepted, showcasing the value of independent thought and the potential for revolutionary concepts to arise from it.

Rand also includes an array of other characters in the novel to further illustrate how individual autonomy can lead to the greatest discoveries. Ellsworth Monkton Toohey, a major antagonist in the novel, is a prime example of a character who seeks to suppress the free thinking of individuals in order to further his own agenda. His character represents the dangers of external influences and how it can stunt the potential of men. On the other hand, characters like Dominique Francon and Peter Keating are prime examples of the consequences of succumbing to social pressures. They are unable to fully realize their potential and are ultimately unable to attain their own individual greatness due to their reliance on the opinions and ideals of society.

In conclusion, Ayn Rand uses The Fountainhead to illustrate her theme that deterministic obedience to socially accepted systems of thought can stifle individuals' potential and prevent them from making their greatest discoveries. Through the characters of Howard Roark, Ellsworth Monkton Toohey, Dominique Francon, and Peter Keating, Rand illustrates why individual autonomy and independent thinking should be valued, and that individuals who are allowed to think freely without outside influence have the potential to make the greatest discoveries.

Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" and "Speaking Arabic."

My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage.

"Research on the health of TGNC people is growing, and disparities are often noted. In this review, we examine 77 studies published between January 1, 1997 and March 22, 2017 which reported mental health outcomes in TGNC populations to (a) characterize what is known about mental health outcomes and (b) describe what gaps persist in this literature. In general, depressive symptoms, suicidality, interpersonal trauma exposure, substance use disorders, anxiety, and general distress have been consistently elevated among TGNC adults."

Coco is enrolled in University and has just completed Finance where, among other things, she has learnt about the existence of the futures market. Coco has a better understanding of the spot market and she is not quite sure about how investments in the two markets would compare. Building on her knowledge from Principles, Coco would like to invest in the ASX 200, as a broadly diversified portfolio. She approaches her friend Iga and asks her "Should I consider investing in the ASX200 using index futures contracts? Would I get a better or worse return than if I invested through a passive index fund on the ASX?" Iga is also a student at Uni and has successfully completed Derivative Securities. Using her Derivatives expertise, Iga replies: "Well, as long as you hold your, say, long futures position for a relatively short time so that interest rates do not change and the dividend yield does not change, then it doesn’t matter which one you choose: the return that you get from your index futures position is going to match the excess return on the index fund over the same time period".

Would you agree with Iga’s argument? Why or why not?
