Week 5_ Blog 4
In the final chapter, chapter 11, two different types of cultures are described. Individualist culture where they view the world from the point of view of the self and collectivist culture is when believe n the common good over self interest, value group and family identity over individual achievement. Referring to the cheer team that I coach, I believe that it is more of a collectivist culture and individualistic culture. If one girl looks bad, she makes the rest of the team look bad as well. This can be applied in any team since there is no I on team.

I think your example of using you cheerleading team as collectivist culture was different. Usually when I think of an indvidualist and collectivist culture I think of United States being individualist and Japan being collectivist. I never really thought of it in that way before.
