1. Provide some evidence from practices through specific, concrete examples connecting the worldview of "Individualism" and everyday life. Think about the conversations that someone might engage in (whether in person or virtually on social media), the media consumed (podcasts, news, books, tv, etc.), and the community (friends, family, church, etc.).
Sanford and Wilkins provide positives and negatives for Individualism.
2. Choose ONE positive and ONE negative someone might see most manifest in life (provide evidence/concrete examples).
3. In regard to the potential negative aspects of the worldview "Individualism" reflect on how someone might manage them.
- What resources from the Christian tradition might aid in managing or preventing them? Is there a particular spiritual discipline? Is there a particular portion of the Bible or theology?
- In what way(s) might Smith's book You Are What You Love aid in helping you reflect on healthy engagement with and manage the potential pitfalls of this worldview?
