We are one of the most individualistic peoples on earth and the busybody neighbor, the busybody relative and the busybody government are all unpopular.

When this story first hit, it was tweeted out as "a brutally honest look" at the practice—but in so far as that's true, it's true only in the most individualistic way.

They are expected to carry their own weight and rely on themselves. The United States is said to be one of the most individualistic countries, and on the other hand Korea and Japan are some of the most collectivistic countries. However both groups have their flaws. With an individualistic approach, one is inclined in possibly experiencing loneliness.

Kloos was one of the leaders, along with the poet Herman Gorter, the critic Lodewijk van Deyssel, and the prolific writer and psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden, of the influential group of Dutch writers known as the Movement of Eighty (Beweging van Tachtig), otherwise known simply as the Tachtigers, who interacted and worked with each other in Amsterdam in the 1880s. As part of this movement, Kloos criticized mainstream literary style as bookish and overly wrought, and instead sought to write poetry in which the form matched the content, so that intimate experiences should be conveyed with a natural intimacy of expression. Kloos also rejected art that sought to express widely shared experiences or emotions. Instead, he demanded that art must be "the most individualistic expression of the most individualistic emotion" ("de allerindividueelste expressie van de allerindividueelste emotie").

Chris Greening at VGMO called Majin Tensei "one of the most individualistic and accomplished ambient scores on the Super Nintendo", enjoying the mix of conventional ambiance and funk, saying that it both enhanced the game's mood and worked as stand-alone music. On the other hand, he found Majin Tensei II soundtrack "pleasant but disappointing", saying that several of the compositions were underdeveloped, uninspired or repetitive, while noting more developed tracks such as "A.D. 1995 Story" as highlights.

The front porch of Gunston Hall is William Buckland's "most individualistic design", according to Great Georgian Houses of America, as copied by the Historic American Buildings Survey. The classical lines of the porch exactly follow those of a Roman medal of the Temple of Tyche in Eumeneia, Asia Minor, only engraved once. It is possible Buckland saw the medal or heard it discussed while apprenticing with his uncle, a bookshop owner. :Copied from: : The porch is also quite similar to the porch of Honington Hall, near Oxford.

Cultural individualism is strongly correlated with GDP per capita. The cultures of economically developed regions such as Australia, Japan, North America and Western Europe are the most individualistic in the world. Middle income regions such as Eastern Europe, South America and mainland East Asia have cultures which are neither very individualistic nor very collectivistic. The most collectivistic cultures in the world are from economically developing regions such as the Middle East and Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia, Central Asia and Central America.

Pilon commented that, 'Kohut and Stokes mentioned "the United States" refers not only to American policies but to the American people altogether.' Another book review was written by Walter Russell Mead. He wrote that Kohit and Stokes create enduring problems as long as the most individualistic people are against the majority of the American population. He believed that most Americans tend to be more effective that most people with their ability to shape their own lives as well as acceptance to use government action in solving world problems.

The Krewe du Vieux is perhaps simultaneously the most individualistic and the most traditional of all New Orleans parading krewes. It has no large tractor-pulled floats like the larger krewes, using only old- style, small, human-drawn or mule-drawn floats interspersed with marchers on foot. Krewe du Vieux only has live music, hiring some of the city's best brass bands to march with them. The floats are handmade and decorated by members of the respective sub-krewes, often with themes satirizing local politics and customs, sometimes of a bawdy nature -- in such aspects arguably closer to early-19th-century Carnival traditions than any other Krewe currently parading.

Even the most "individualistic" or "subjective" phenomena, such as love, freedom, or suicide, would be regarded by Durkheim as objective social facts. Individuals composing society do not directly cause suicide: suicide, as a social fact, exists independently in society, and is caused by other social facts—such as rules governing behavior and group attachment—whether an individual likes it or not. Whether a person "leaves" a society does not alter the fact that this society will still contain suicides. Suicide, like other immaterial social facts, exists independently of the will of an individual, cannot be eliminated, and is as influential—coercive—as physical laws like gravity.

His immediate replacement was an interim, A. C. Ferguson, the dean of the college for the past 22 years. The University of Texas Ph.D. was selected both to ensure continuity with Whitley's administration, and for his age: at 69, he was a year away from mandatory retirement and could not be selected as a permanent president, thus simplifying the board of regent's choice. On September 1, 1947, Ferguson officially retired and James Gilliam Gee was inaugurated president of ETSTC, the fifth in the school's history. Regarded by Reynolds as, with the possible exception of Mayo, "unquestionably the most individualistic president" in school history, Gee's style was one of involvement, engagement, and impulsiveness.

In 1969, Toynton became the visiting artist at Ohio State University in America; he was then Chairman of the Art Department at the University of Victoria. Later he moved to Boston and became Chair of Fine Art at the Massachusetts College of Art. During the 70s, he created a number of large installation pieces for solo exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and the Williams College Museum of Art. At the end of this decade he returned to creating smaller paintings, working with the same material he had begun using in his installations: Masonite pegboard, which he described as "moribund, Orwellian…standing for everything that 'threatens to destroy painting, the most individualistic, human activity I know of".

Of all of Liszt's compositions, his songs – there are half a hundred of them – are the least known and sung ones. The most circulated and popular one, in any case, is "Es muß ein Wunderbares sein", one of the few songs by Liszt, of which the tender homogenous mood is nowhere forcefully broken, and which can be purely enjoyed. Remarkable are all of them, those songs, as most individualistic expressions of an interesting personage, who however is behaving very freely towards most of the poems.Translated from German after: Burger: Lebenschronik in Bildern, p. 274. In 1879 and 1880 Liszt continued the series of his "Gesammelte Lieder" with songs such as "J'ai perdu ma force et ma vie", "Ihr Glocken von Marling", "Sei still", "Mild wie ein Lufthauch im Mai" (2nd version), "Isten veled (Lebe wohl)", "Mir ist die Welt so freudenleer" and others.

Elizabeth regarded herself as a competent to judge what is "wise and good", and refuses to let others dictate to her what she may or may not laugh at, making her one of the most individualistic of Austen heroines. However, Johnson noted that Austen hedged her bets here, reflecting the strict censorship imposed in Britain during the wars with France; Elizabeth reaffirms her wish to be part of the elite by marrying Darcy, instead of challenging it, as she says: "He is a gentleman; I am a gentleman's daughter; so far we are equal."Johnson, Claudia Jane Austen, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1988, pp. 88. In the same way Austen avoids the issue of filial obedience – questioning of which would have marked out as a "radical" – by having Mrs Bennet tell her daughter she must marry Collins where her father says she must not.

Minneapolis MN 1986. These included influence from contemporary Dutch Golden Age painting and the native Spanish tradition which give much of the art of the period an interest in naturalism, and an avoidance of the grandiosity of much Baroque art. Important early contributors included Juan Bautista Maíno (1569-1649), who brought a new naturalistic style into Spain,Prado Guide, pg 64 Francisco Ribalta (1565-1628),Prado Guide, pg 74 and the influential still life painter, Sánchez Cotán (1560-1627).Prado Guide, pg 66 The Disrobing of Christ (El Espolio). El Greco (1541-1614) was one of the most individualistic of the painters of the period, developing a strongly Mannerist style based on his origins in the post Byzantine Cretan school, in contrast to the naturalist approaches then predominant in Seville, Madrid and elsewhere in Spain.Prado Guide, pg 54 Many of his works reflect the silvery- greys and strong colours of Venetian painters such as Titian, but combined with strange elongations of figures, unusual lighting, disposing of perspective space, and filling the surface with very visible and expressive brushwork.
