Collectivism vs. Individualism

1. Individualist- responsible, smart, selfish, business relationship.
Collectivist- loyal, family-like relationship.
2. Yes. No. In collectivism the head is the smartest and all-important; so his opinions will not be questioned. In individualism, people might be too scared to challenge the opinion because it's frowned upon.
3. The teacher coming from a collectivist culture would want to do all-class work and group work. But the children would want to do individual work. The teacher should have the students both individual work and group work.
4. An acquaintance reminds me of business. Negative, it's like the person doesn't quite make the standards of being a friend.
