Christian Boujaoude September 18, 2014 Pd. 9 Kroposky Walking Dead Questions 1. Being an individual means being fully alive and mentally stable, making rational decisions. It means have every lobe in your brain at fully capacity. It means caring for other people and not just surviving. 2. In the Walking Dead, individualism is pervasive in the American culture because there are many instances where characters make decisions based on their individual needs rather than compromising and working with the group. Being selfish would be an example of individualism, because the group is not in the person?s mind.
