American Cult of DIVIDUALS : So-called Individualism

DIVIDUALS <



"INdividuals" would literally mean I's not separated from We/Us. But "individual"'s common usage is twisted to the exact opposite of its literal meaning; in everyday usage "individual" refers to "I's" as divided , isolated , from WE/US. Not "INdividual" not undivided , but "Dividual" an "I" , a Self, an anti-Social Self. <




The ubiquitous COMPETITION and RIVALRY of American Capitalist culture forces people to be self-centered to survive <


US has a Cult of "Individuals " US has a Cult of DIVIDUALS So, Selfishness guides American masses' politics as it guides everything else. Individualism, selfishness; mimicking the selfishness of the bourgeoisie , so the working class has petit bourgeois ideology and worldview. I, me , my. US has a Cult of Individuals. Many people make a cult of themselves . They have to look after themselves majorly ; nobody else will. Competition is rife in capitalist culture or custom: America's social relations are saturated with competition among DIVIDUALS ((((((( Why anthropological psychology ? Anthropological psychology because psychology is study of the Individual , the Self, that idol of American culture and symbolic inheritance . So, learning about individuals is automatically more relevant to individual student's interests , which is of course , especially in themSELVES. <
