Answer 1

Which is more beneficial for you in creating your self-concept? The individualistic self or collectivistic self? Write your answer in a maximum of three (3) paragraphs.

My self-concept encompasses a feeling of independence and remaining focused on fulfilling my needs before attending to those of others. Individualistic self is the most important in establishing my self-concept. It states that an individual focuses on their goals and rights and obtains motivation from getting rewards and benefits (Hattie, 2014). When it comes to catering to my personal and financial needs, I do not depend on anyone else for support. I believe that I am the only one who can solve my problems effectively. Whenever I interact with others for their support, it will only be because I require to benefit from them in a more significant manner. It means that they have something that I very much need to fulfill my goals. I feel more confident when I am independent.
