About This Quote
"Groups are good, while individuals are bad," said former President Richard Nixon in a famous statement that some people have deemed racist. This quote, while controversial, is quite true. In a group, individuals can be taken advantage of by a leader who depends on a group to achieve the same goals. In a group, one person must sacrifice for the good of the group.
In individualism, one person can make decisions without concern for what others think. One person can do what is best for him or her without regard for anyone else. In America, we have both rugged individualism and rugged groupism.
We have rugged individualism in the form of the Constitution and rugged groupism in the form of sports teams and family members. It's important that we have both ways.
