INDIVUALISTIC

Humans have a perfect chance to examine themselves and how they identify both individually
and in their larger culture in today's society, with the introduction of contemporary digital
communication and an increased focus on global society and diversity. Although "who am I?" is
undoubtedly one of the most fundamental issues of human identity, our identity as groups and
individuals is inextricably linked to the culture in which we live, particularly in terms of whether that
culture is decided to be individualistic or collectivist. These varied mindsets are inextricably linked to our
perceptions of ourselves and the influence of cross-cultural relationships. We now classify people based
on material and social variables such as age, ethnicity, social standing, and gender to see if they share
one or more identities with us. We need to assign identities like this in order to operate in our society as
parents, employers, students, or any of the numerous hundreds of roles we can play. The way other
people respond to our self- or socially given identities defines what our genuine identities are in our
thoughts, guaranteeing that others will always play a part in how we see ourselves. People in my life
have a huge influence on my identity because I hold myself to high standards and want to be perceived
as a good person in general. A good student, a good daughter, a good worker; these are all identities
that I have for myself, and I evaluate whether I am living up to these identities based on the opinions of
others.

Life is like a flower, spreading joy wherever it goes! Flowers, despite their fragility and fragility,
always manage to find a special place in our hearts. Their pleasant, pervasive aroma has an impact on
our daily lives. Flowers provide us joy! Giving happiness to others is the nicest thing in the world. We
feel gratified when we are the reason for another person's grin. To be a source of joy to others, you
must first find happiness inside yourself; only then can you genuinely share joy around you. Flowers are
the happiest things we encounter. Flowers' fragrances constantly spread in the direction of the wind.
Always count your garden by the blossoms, never by the fallen leaves. Life is like a flower; they both
have the same features that we may learn from.

Individualism is defined as the ability to accomplish anything we desire as self-sufficient


individuals. People are continually pressured to do what those in positions of power want them to do.
It's significant because if everyone could follow their own interests, society as a whole would be
stronger. Many people feel that a person's uniqueness best represents their human ability, and that a
person can assist the rest of society as an individual. The flip side of the coin is that a person is
unimportant in terms of his uniqueness, and that all human growth advancement is contingent on it.
And I call myself independent since I do everything on my own because I come from a shattered home
and no one else can assist me. That's why, from elementary school, I've done everything on my own,
including attending school meetings, enrolling in a school, and so on. In other ways, I've solved my
problems on my own and don't require assistance from others, but I suppose that someday I'll need to
be friendly because, at all costs, you can't do it alone and you do require assistance from others, such as
family or friends, because being united is the most important factor that we require in life.
COLLECTIVISTIC

Simply put, collectivism is the belief that everyone is a part of a bigger collective and that all
conduct stems from this. More precisely, collectivism entails prioritizing the needs of others in your
group over your own, a willingness to collaborate with others in your group, shared ideals, and
satisfaction based on the well-being of others. Some argue that collectivism obliterates a person's
personality. Others disagree, claiming that individuals were created to live in societies. Being a member
of society does not always imply abandoning one's individuality. Everyone must act on their own free
will while also respecting and adhering to certain basic societal principles. Collectivism, or belonging to a
group, refers to acting on behalf of a collective and promoting societal interests rather than personal
ones. The family is collectivistic in that you can always count on them for help and support. Even with
the individualistic notion of "pushing the young out of the nest," this still holds true. Although the family
encourages individual individuality, it also recognizes the group's communal formation and interaction.
Both can exist to some extent inside a culture, even if they do not exist in total consistency. Based on
the above example, I believe that collectivism is more prevalent in individualistic societies than
individualism is in collectivistic civilizations.
Unity inspires boldness. We must always stand together as a nation because unity not only gives
us power, strength, and bravery, but it is also required and critical for our existence. "Unity is Strength."
Unity, in a nutshell, is oneness or togetherness. When there is unity, there is more likely to be strength
in opinion, strength in action, and strength in character. For example, if you take a stick, it may easily
break. However, it is difficult to break a bundle of sticks. This is the one-of-a-kind force of oneness. This
Elocution Contest is a great example. The Rotarians are all unified in their stance. They put forth a lot of
effort to make this elocution contest a success. Let us begin with the simplest unit of our society. A
family represents oneness; they live together, work together, pleasure together, and share their sorrows
together, and this is the foundation of the unit's strength. Parents urge their children to interact freely
with classmates of other races and beliefs. We progress from this tiny unit to the larger vista of society.
Schools are the ideal locations for pupils of all ethnicities to mix freely without fear of discrimination or
suspicion. Students should learn about the many holidays that their friends observe, as well as their rites
and rituals and places of worship. Let us now move on from society to the country's situation. We live in
a state of relative racial peace. As the proverb goes, "United we Stand, divided we Fall," and unity
among the many races is critical for the nation's prosperity.
