Answer 1

Answer:individualist; collectivist

Explanation:An individualist is someone who advocates for the freedoms of the individual, versus a collectivist who thinks a group of people or government should have priority over any individual. ... In a collectivist culture, those who are part of it do things that benefit the entire group and not just themselves.

Individualism stresses individual goals and the rights of the individual person. Collectivism focuses on group goals, what is best for the collective group, and personal relationships. An individualist is motivated by personal rewards and benefits.
