Individualism is a belief that everyone needs to look after themselves and support themselves. Collectivism is a value or belief where you think of society first and what societies needs are. You make sacrifices for the benefit of society as a whole instead of thinking only of yourself.

I'm not sure about individualism...but examples of collectivism are trade unionism, class solidarity, welfare systems i.e. national healthcare, redstributive tax structures which strengthen social responsibility, and forms of common ownership i.e. the Kibbutz in Israel.

Collectivism puts the group first, and individual rights are subordinate to the group desires.

Individualism puts the individual first, and individual rights take precedent over the group.
