Individualism: a social theory advocating the liberty, rights, or independent action of the individual. Collectivism: the political principal of centralized social and economic control. esp. of all means of production. -dictionary.com I am favorable towards individualism. I like being individual. I like being in my body. Being raped would make one feel not so individual. But collectivism, from my point of view and experiences, is good too. It is good incase you are raped. If you don't know where to go, you can always go to a controlled place.
