How has my experience shaped my view of individualism?

English

Fantom [35]2 years ago

The individual identifies primarily with self, with the needs of the individual being satisfied before those of the group. Looking after and taking care of oneself, being self-sufficient, guarantees the well-being of the group. Independence and self-reliance are greatly stressed and valued.

Individualism allows you to have your own personal opinion and to share these with your environment, and to hear other opinions. This allows you see everything from different perspectives and maybe you could realize that what you thought was wrong, or show a group another view on matters.

In collectivism your opinion gets somewhat swallowed by the group, and often your opinions in a straight line with the groups’. I don’t see how this could be in a slightest bit interesting. I love debating matters, even controversial things, and see everything from all different perspectives. And the fact that I shouldn’t be afraid to do so is a true blessing, as I live in a highly individual country, namely Belgium.

Now, I do realize that collectivism has a lot of good sides as well, as I do realize that Belgians, being oh so individual, tend to care about themselves and their close friends and family only. There is no group-spirit, or just a little bit anyway. We tend to think that stating our own personal opinion is a right and do not give any importance to belonging to a group. And this is highly remarkable.

Which is the best place to look for clues about an implied theme in a story?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The answer is  symbols mentioned in the story

Explanation:

An implied theme sometimes lies in the name of the story, like " The fall of the house  Usher". This title indicates that the theme is going to be what has been happened to the house.

Symbols in a story can be a sign of important detail to the main event. It is important how to figure out what symbol means or reflects. Symbols support the main idea of the story. Their role is to be part of the story and give the story something specifics and something that riders can think about.

Due to writers intentions on the reader is to figure out what symbol reflects.
