Collectivism  A society ruled by an upper class with few democratic ideals.  State propaganda programs and educational systems that coerce most citizens into worshipping the state and its government, in an attempt to convince them into thinking that life under the regime is good and just.  Collective societies have strict conformity among citizens and the general assumption that dissent and individuality are bad.

Individuality  Independence – freedom from outside control or support  Free Will – People can make choices; make up their own minds, can make decisions, can direct their own lives by the ideas and values they adopt.  Non-Western (not western Europe or North America) culture rejects individualism.
