What does collectivism emphasize?

  1. Individual achievement

  2. Goal of the group

  3. Personal wealth

  4. Societal laws

The correct answer is: Goal of the group

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of the group and its goals over individual achievement. This means that the needs and goals of the group take precedence over personal wealth or societal laws. While individual achievement may still be valued within a group, it is not the main focus of collectivist societies. Additionally, collectivism often promotes the idea of sharing and distributing wealth among the group instead of prioritizing personal wealth. Societal laws may also be influenced by the needs and beliefs of the group, rather than solely based on individual rights.
