Individualism Vs Collectivism

[caveman]

Lessons from S. Covey,

As children, we are dependent on our parents for what we need. As we grow, we are expected to become self-relient, independent people (although that often doesn't fully happen with a lot of people). Maturing further, some people will reach interdependence, which is when individuals work together for maximum effectiveness. It doesn't mean loss of personal identity. In fact, it's often chemistry between these individuals that makes effective teams.

I lean towards collectivism. I believe that while we are all different, we often share common goals - wealth, happiness, peace, comfort etc. As individuals we can work with our personal strengths, where others might have weaknesses, and make these things happen.
