This document discusses and compares individualist and collectivist societies. An individualist society focuses on individual success and having people take care of themselves, while a collectivist society prioritizes group success and people taking care of each other. Some advantages of individualism are individual rights and more progress, while disadvantages can include groups having more power than individuals. Collectivism is argued to be better than individualism because it allows for more shared ideas to solve problems, prevents loneliness, and emphasizes group success that ultimately helps individuals.
