Final Remarks

If society as a whole ever expects to beat this global pandemic it is necessary for us to trade at least some of our individualistic values for a collectivist state of mind. Perhaps then we could begin to return to ‘normal.’

>		 Kaila, I really liked how you tied in the language customs when discussing the two different cultures—it's something that I don't think a lot of people would think shapes behavior, I think even within the United States, there are varying degrees of individualism. I'm not sure what the current culture is like in NY, but as I start my fourth week in TX I can say the level of individualism is even higher here. When I first moved back down here, I was the only one wearing a mask. When people would ask me what COVID-19 protocol/social norms are in NY, they were appalled when I told them we still wear out masks to a lot of places. It might be because NY is highly-condensed like a lot of the cities in collectivism countries.

I'm not sure what it would take for us to start caring for everyone again, but I'm afraid that we only exacerbated the current pandemic because of our individualism thinking. –Adrian
