And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by delicious cultures we [One tribe running from another tribe]

meant yogurt... Alright here's our question from a psychological standpoint

00:14

groups that value the whole groups needs over that of the individual are what...

00:21

let's see our potential answers..Well we're looking to emphasize the group

00:27

over the individual so something tells us that the answer with the word [Girl in a beauty pageant on stage]

00:31

individual in it probably isn't the one we're looking for.. yeah, we know shocking...

00:35

This kind of deep analysis is why they pay us the big bucks but in addition to

00:39

that impressive analysis we know that to be individualistic means to value the

00:44

needs and rights of an individual over the group so A is definitely not our

00:48

winner. B isn't either why? Well the term cross-cultural refers to the ability to

00:53

compare and contrast cultures and unlike yogurt spokesperson Jamie Lee Curtis [Jamie Lee Curtis appears by a pot of yogurt]

01:10

for either because it also has to do with cultures he describes the tendency

01:15

to judge another culture based on the standard of one's own in order to feel

01:19

one's culture is superior to the others... Altruistic comes close it describes as [Man using a hammer]

01:24

principle of selflessness in which one has a genuine concern for the welfare of

01:29

others it's basically the opposite of selfishness which is similar to what

01:33

we're looking for but there are still a better answer in the bunch and that

01:36

would be C collectivist... A collectivist group is a group that focuses more on [A group of people sat at a press conference]

01:41

the successes of the whole group as opposed to those of any one individual

01:46

sounds like exactly what we're looking for...No not Activia, doesn't this lady

01:51

have anything else to do with her time? [Jamie Lee Curtis appears at a press conference]
