2.2 The Misconception of Inpidualism
2.2.1 Isolation
The first misconception is that inpidualism means isolation and it’s outside the society. This misconception is reflected on the popular images of human centered. They handle the stress by themselves and they rarely rely on others. May be they always do things in their own way, but that’s not to say they are isolation. Moreover, isolation is not the essence of inpidualism. In fact, the concept of inpidualism is just a conception of inpidual, which is neither a person nor the group. In other words, it’s just a primary constituent of society.
In our mind, inpidualism means being alone. This conception leads us to define the inpidualism as incompatible with cooperation. Actually, a person who doesn't listen to others’ idea, handles the problems through an inefficient way on his own way. It’s not called inpidualism but it’s called a closed minded. A true inpidualist wants to pursuit the best for himself, so he seeks out the best way to handle the problems, no mater which one has the rich resource, he can get access to the resource. To the inpidualist, the truth is the most important principle on any fields, even the authority. Living in society, the Inpidualism is hardly to give up cooperating with other people, because these are tremendous benefits. 老友记中的美国个人主义价值观解析(2):http://www.youerw.com/wenxue/lunwen_39893.html
