What is one issue that reflects the individualist versus collectivist outlook in your own times? According to the dictionary an individualist is “an advocate of a social theory favoring freedom of action for individuals over collective or state control” A collectivist is “an adherent of the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it” So we see that each group has a different idea, but how have they acted toward each over the years? The biggest issue in todays time is politics. But how does it do this The answer to this is more simple than most people think. Today the individualists want to be free. America used to be free and now we are being controlled by the government. The collectivists are blind to the world around them and think more government is better. Most politicians are collectivists. They want to be in control so they tax us, teach us lies, make the government bigger, threaten us, make stupid laws, and spy on us through our devices! Collectivist think this is good! Now people argue over government and this has caused more problems. Our world is falling apart because of what the government has done to it.
