You believe in the paramount importance of personal freedom, self-reliance, and the right to express and pursue one's own goals without interference from societal or governmental constraints.
Individualism is a political ideology that emphasizes the moral worth and inherent rights of the individual. It is rooted in the belief that each person has a unique identity and set of interests that should be respected and protected. Individualists argue that individuals should be allowed to make their own choices and decisions, free from government interference or societal pressure.

Reading Beloved opened my eyes to the horrors that many slaves or ex slaves faced and still ripple through society today.
@9KT7DPD3mos3MO
When I watched "The Help" and the movie "Selma" my eyes were opened to the devasting effects that racism had caused.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Do you feel that our education system encourages individual thought or promotes standardization?
@9JL29Q24mos4MO
It promotes standardization with any concessions for people with mental or physical issues being hard to come by.
@9JKZDZH4mos4MO
I feel that the education system encourages individual thought a little too much. They need to stop allowing trans to go into opposite bathrooms. It is creating an unnatural unsafe place.
@9JKZ98T4mos4MO
Our education system is based on the premise that rewards test scores over genuinely teaching a healthy curriculum because test scores are more profitable.
@9JKZYZD4mos4MO
some places encourage us to be individuals but some places want you to be the same in almost every aspect of life

What's a unique perspective or talent you bring to your friend group, and how is it valued?

@9LFN6J3 2mos2MO
i am a real therapeutic person i bring comfort to the people i am around
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In what moment did you feel your personal freedom was most challenged, and how did you respond?
@9HGDK53Independent6mos6MO
At school they lock all the bathrooms during, 3rd period and no one can use them. I responded by letting some faculty know that this isn't right because it is taking away our rights to use the bathroom whenever we need regardless if we have enough staff to watch the bathrooms or not it is unjust and honestly just incredibly rude.

In what ways have you customized your education or career path to better fit your individual strengths?
@9KF86WH3mos3MO
I left the country and viewed how others live their life. What matters and what doesn’t matter. Sometimes we are so entitled and get caught up on the unimportant things.
@9KF869Y3mos3MO
I'm in a business academy at my high school and a lot of my classes are tailored to my interests.
@9KF83VX3mos3MO
Most likely this wont happen but there should be a program where certain time of the year to each state should collaborate on setting up certain centers around there states to give a job experiences of being a doctor, engineer, vetinarian, teacher, technician, and etc.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How much should one sacrifice individual comfort for the chance to make a societal impact?
@9JQ45YX4mos4MO
we should not have to sacrifice much to live in a peaceful society, everyone should do their part to make it a good environment
@9JQ885TRepublican4mos4MO
This is the best answer because you always have to put others before yourself.
@9JQ65SL4mos4MO
As much as they want, up to the point where their basic human needs are not meet
@9JQ3Z3K4mos4MO
As long as there are hopes of making an impact, they should go head first into making reform.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How does your culture view the idea of working primarily for personal gain versus community benefit?
@9J2XCVKPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
We just want to provide and survive, not really caring about the community
@9J2X3C45mos5MO
Different cultures have a different view of work, for mine we view work as survival and not caring about the community and being friendly, but mostly about survival and providing for our family, and work with the very few materials we have and opprotunittes.
@9J2XTBX5mos5MO
most of my generation, see it more to be for themselves and not for anyone else. But, i just hope someday that they all can see that we are all the same, of flesh, blood, and life.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How can we encourage individual talents while still promoting teamwork and collaboration?
@9HGC54V 6mos6MO
We can encourage teamwork and collaboration by putting it in schools and work places to also give us communication skills and different things that come with this.
@9HGCD2T6mos6MO
Jobs should give employees more chances to become successful
@9HGC4ZCPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
Offer more opportunities when starting their own businesses or entrepreneurial ventures.
@9HGCCZ36mos6MO
We can make teams of people with very similar talents while pairing them with another group of opposite talents

How does your personal identity shape your interactions with others who have different beliefs or backgrounds?
@9LCJCJJ2mos2MO
Personally, I have become more open to others ideals because I myself have experienced different cultures and have a broader view on the world and the people in it.
@9LF7XFG2mos2MO
Interact with those individuals still stuck in the Medieval era. See how your benevolence is treated as weakness. When all avenues for negotiation are exhausted, because they only believe in force, you will not become more open.
A person's understanding of their own and other's identities develops from birth and is shaped by the values and attitudes prevalent at home and in the surrounding community.
@9LCJBRXRepublican2mos2MO
I am open to their Ideas and I don't let it get in the way of my thoughts on them, unless they are very ritualistic and into sacrificial stuff.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Discuss a situation where individual rights seem to conflict with community safety — where should the line be drawn?
@9HGHYMT6mos6MO
Individual rights should be protected unless someone uses those same rights to attack others
@9HGKS236mos6MO
In the terms of the right to bear arms, yes citizens should be able to have a firearm to keep for an instance for self-defense. That line needs to be drawn when people start to go through the US's lax gun purchasing process and go into schools or other public places and kill innocent people.
when expressing your rights causes harm to others and disrupts traffic
@9HGJ6496mos6MO
The gov should try its best not to intervene unless needed.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does the pressure to conform in school settings affect your ability to be your true self?
@9JKXV5DRepublican4mos4MO
it can either push you away from things or towards things but you can always choose your own path
