Kaitlin- Collectivism is﻿ the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it. The characters are following collectivism because they don't know anything else. This is what they have been taught and also if they break the rules they have been taught they will be punished.

Hello, gymnasts!

Now that you have read the intro and the first two chapters, I have a few questions to get you thinking (I know, it's summer, but wait until we have the character debate like last year!)

What is collectivism? Why are these characters in the story following leaders and not their own beliefs?

‍

Are they allowed to think for themselves? Why or why not?

‍

Is it easier to lead ignorant people or intelligent people?Why?

‍

Why are these people not allowed to have feelings for one person over another?

‍

Listen to this interview, and tell me what you think about AYn Rand's view of people?
