One common cultural argument is that democracy is a unique product of the historical experiences of Europe. Proponents of this approach argue that these societies developed a culture that emphasizes individualism and secularism and that these values are largely lacking in today's nondemocracies

Step-by-step explanation:

Individualism TALKS about taking care of one's own-self. It is the belief and practice that every person is unique and self-reliant or reliable . A belief in individualism also implies that you believe that the government should be kept out of the individual affairs.

The concept of secularism also emphasizes that a person should have the right to be free from religious rule and teachings, or can be neutral on matters of belief, and also the government should not impose the religious teaching/beliefs on its people.
