Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is A: Individualism; collectivism.

Explanation: Individualism focus on the goals and motivations of the individual. An individualist sets her/himself a particular set of objectives based on his terms and identity.

Collectivism focuses more on what's best for the group, what should the individual do to adapt in the best possible way to the group to contribute the most to it.

In this particular case, Lionel fits more the concept of individualism because he is setting himself a particular goal; to behave consistently.

Zlatan fits more with the concept of collectivism because he thinks that he should adapt his behavior to change while with the group.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) Individualism; collectivism.
