Individualism is a particular ideology or social understanding that human beings are the most essential elements in nature and that each individual is expected to pursue his or her own needs and requirements in order to progress accordingly. Freedom, respect, equality; it is the values ​​of self-determination and autonomy that characterize individualism. The father of classical liberalism, John Locke, as cited by Salvadori (1959), once said: "Man being born, as has been proved, with a right to perfect liberty and uncontrolled enjoyment of all rights and privileges of the laws of nature. , on equality with any other man, or number of men in the world, has by nature the power, not only to preserve his property, that is to say, his life, his liberty and his property, against injury and the attempts of other men. Individualism is based on several distinct but inseparable facts. One of these facts is that the individual occupies a unique and central place in society. A person's existence does not require the contribution of another person, so the distinctiveness of one's identities between individuals is particular and separate, as Machan (1998) quotes, "one dies alone" . Another essential element is the element of autonomy. According to Elias (1991), an individual's characteristics are based on their own self-determination and free will which influence the process of individualization throughout their developmental life. Furthermore, self-generated rationality is also part of the individualistic conception of human being. Each human being's self-knowledge is generated to help the individual and is not affected by the influence of others, history or even one's own parents...... middle of paper ... ...and be understood simply as an additive accumulation of many individuals. Humans are social animals and it cannot be denied that humans lead social lives and that this affects their behavior, as shown in Aristotle's simple example of the relationship between stones and a house. This does not explain the quantity of individual elements needed together but for once it is certainly not possible to establish the structure of the house if the stones are isolated. Although everyone is different and unique, it is always possible to reach the end (home) where the stones are none other than the means. In the interest of a social whole, individuals live and love, struggle and die in order to achieve greater societal gains. In the modern world, and more so, a significant achievement is and will be almost impossible for an individual if he cannot dominate some. vast organization.
