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.

A crowd is different because it is simply a temporary gathering of people in a public place, where members may interact but do not identify with each other and will not remain in contact. A crowd is one example of an aggregate, a collection of people who share a physical location but do not have lasting social relations.
