How has my experience shaped my view of individualism?

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.

what methods can you use to better support your inferences and interpretations of a text as a whole? how are these methods diffe
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Some methods that can help improve the inferences of a text are:

  • Use context clues.
  • Make summaries.
  • Write the most important topics.
  • Analyze research sources.

Explanation:

Inferences are conclusions that we can draw from a text after reading it. While some texts can easily make inferences, other texts can be more complex. In this case, it is necessary that some methods are used to help the reader understand the text better and thus provide a good inference.

For both literary texts and informative texts, the use of context clues is very efficient, as context clues prevent the flow of reading from being broken, as they allow the reader to understand difficult or unknown words through the context of the sentence or the paragraph to which these words are related. Other efficient methods for these two types of texts are the elaboration of summaries and the listing of the most important topics presented in the text.

Analyzing research sources, on the other hand, will only be efficient in informative texts, as it allows the information in that text to be extended, as research sources present more complete and comprehensive information and can facilitate the process of completing the text.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The parallel between Victor Frankenstein's story and the story of Prometheus and Pandora lies in the fact that VICTOR CREATES LIFE IN THE MONSTER JUST AS PROMETHEUS AND PANDORA CREATED LIFE IN HUMANS.

The right option is C.

Explanation:

The story of Frankenstein is usually linked to that of Prometheus and Pandora due to the fact that both stories has to do with creation of life and negative consequences that follow it.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a god, who stole fire from heaven and gave it to humanity. In order to punish his crime, Zeus, the king of the gods commanded another god (hephaestus) to make woman. The woman,  Pandora was made and she became a source of great mystery to  humanity.
