INDIVIDUALISM-The notion that a person is fundamentally a discrete individual, self-            sufficient, accountable only to one's self, and free to pursue any course of action

     that s/he sees fit.

     While there are some noble characteristics among these ideals, the truth is that we

     each depend on many interwoven systems for our growth and well being, and our

     actions have ripple effects throughout the world around us.

 

 

INDIVIDUALITY-All of those characteristics that make a person unique. Some of these we      are born with, while most of them are the result of choices we make based on our              interests, priorities, and environment.
