Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A collectivist society places importance on the group or community over the individual, and therefore values the idea of restraining one's self to be a part of the social unit. Personal effort leading to success (A) and self-expression (D) are more aligned with individualistic values. While recognizing personal potential and obligations to others (C) may be important, it is not necessarily a belief that would be held only by a collectivist society.
