1. Collectivist societies prefer traits such as loyalty, consideration, and group-orientation. Individualistic societies value independence, competitiveness, assertiveness, and self-reliance.
2. Individualistic societies value status more because they want their successes to be attributed to themselves, not to a group. Status focuses more on one person and what he does, which is an individualistic element.
3. If a teacher moves from a collectivist to individualistic city and assigns a group project, the kids will not react well because they will want to do it themselves. The teacher giving the students this project causes an external conflict. Their personal and opposing views are internal conflicts.
4. An acquaintance is someone you know, but you don't know them very well. I think "acquaintance" has a negative connotation because it's sort of demeaning when used, such as, "He's not my friend, he's just an acquaintance."
