Consequences of Choices in Individualism

The document discusses Ayn Rand's views on individualism and choices. Rand rejects collectivism because it uses brute force rather than individual freedom. She believes the individual mind drives economic progress and that people have rights as well as responsibilities. Rand supports the right of individuals to gain, keep, use, and dispose of property as they choose. However, her view of individualism may not align with cultures where community and family dependency are valued.
