Let's Discuss... Individualism

Individualism is a philosophy that prioritizes the worth, goals, and autonomy of the individual over the interests of society, the state, or collective groups.

How does individualism balance personal freedom with social connections and responsibility?

Can extreme individualism lead to social fragmentation or weakened community bonds, and if so, how can this be addressed?

Does self-reliance prevent people from seeking help when lonely?
