 Individualism vs. Collectivism



Individualism is the idea that the individual’s life belongs to him and that he has an inalienable right to live it as he sees fit, to act on his own judgment, to keep and use the product of his effort, and to pursue the values of his choosing. It’s the idea that the individual is sovereign, an end in himself, and the fundamental unit of moral concern.

Collectivism is the idea that the individual’s life belongs not to him but to the group or society of which he is merely a part, that he has no rights, and that he must sacrifice his values and goals for the group’s “greater good.”



Individualism and Collectivism both are super important and this not only depend with the country or culture, this depend on each person too. 
Knowing about this would help during the classroom to know more the students and have an idea how to work with them and also prepare different activities, because not all the students learn on the same way. Like exist multiples intelligence, exist multiples cultures, traditions, etc. And all things must be respected. 
Watching the video and reading those two links, helped me to understand better the differences of theses and how important is this for the people that are from countries where they are Individualism or  Collectivism.

Attributional Tendencies

Micaela Libby 06/02/2018 TESOL 103 Attributional Tendencies Is so easy to judge others the would like to say that we forgot our self. I didn't have idea that to judge our self or other had a name that is the Attributional Tendencies.  I often can hear people said "wow, you never won", "I had good luck". And this can be classifieds as Internal Attributions  and External Attributions.  So now, how can we control it during the lesson in our classroom?  Is easy to judge, but also is not easy to recognize that is wrong.  During the classroom the teacher can explain what is attributional tendencies and that would be allowed to have an opinion and say what they think but working together we can have like a "Discussion Board" where we can learn about the opinion of others and respect everyone. Also, nobody is perfect so that's why like Carlos Romani said on his blog  "Failure and success are part of our temporary existence" an
