Individualism

moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses "the moral worth of the individual".1 Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so independence and self-reliance2 while opposing most external interference upon one's own interests, whether by society, family or any other group or institution.

Transcendentalists believe in INDIVIDUALISM and reject society's expectations but rather act independently.

individualism

the philosophy that the individual is significant and superior to any collective becuase it is the individual and not the collective that holds all rights and is the source of all those rights given to him/her by the one true God or by the fact of their existence. Individualism is congruent with egoism (the celebration of the individual for his efforts and abilities) and is wholly against altruism (the abasement of an individaul for all that he/she is to some other form).

mass produced individualism

the current trend, where people buy clothes in order to be "different" like every one else. very annoying. instead of everyone wearing abercrombie to be cool, they are wear fake little punk or emo clothes from places like hot topic. signs of this terrible trend are super clean converses, band shirts when the wearer has never heard of the band, and anyone who thinks avril lavigne is punk. this trend is really screwing up life for those who might actually be individual, and arent that way just to be like everyone else.

girl all in abercrombie (to identical best friend): hey do you want to go to hot topic and get some of those striped leggings everyone is wearing? well look so individual.
friend: sure, wed be like the coolest people ever. so edgy. lets get an avril lavigne shirt too!

teens follow trend of mass produced individualism. dare to be different because youre friends are.

Anti Individualism

The idea that it is better not to act wierd, crazy or mental defective. This is supported by the military (any, so don't be a bigot), as the loss individualism promotes working together to finish a common goal. It also prevents large amounts of suicide, gets things done, creates a healthy attitude in people, and prevents crazies from starting satanism, occultism, paganism, and those monsters who shoot up schools. Think about it.

1.If the minorities of Christians would stop being selfish and regecting the Pope and start promoting Anti individualism , The Catholic Church would rule the state and be a superpower.

2. If people would stop being concerned with personal feelings and apperance, as well as the misplaced desire to rule themselves, the world would be able to cure the majority of it's ills.
