An example of a country practicing Individualism is the United States. We believe that the needs of each person are more important than the whole communities needs. This helps everyone get what they personally want/need instead of everyone having to deal with whatever it is that the community wanted as a whole. If everyone gets payed based off their needs and working status, they are getting payed for the work they do. It wouldn't be fair if a neurosurgeon got payed the same amount as a food drive worker, so that is why individualism works better.

An example of a country practicing Collectivism is Soviet Russia. This is the same thing as Communist. In Communist societies, sometimes people get payed the same amount of money for their jobs. This reduces, if not diminishes, social classes. This helps children not get bullied for their families being less wealthy than others. This helps reduce amounts of extremely rich people who have too much money to properly handle (basically the Kardashians). This helps decrease social imperfections that revolve around the world's obsession with money.

I believe that Individualism is best because it allows people to do their own thing.
