What are the pros and cons of American Individualism

individualism may seem impossible considering it relies solely on your opinion of the topic itself. Individualism and collectivism are two key points in our society.  Are we individuals by having our own body, own mind and own life, or are we simply individuals that surround ourselves around individuals as a group? To everyone there are pros and cons to both and everyone has their own opinion of what makes up the “ideal” American citizen, and what they see themselves as.
