Individualist
B
Collectivist
C
Nominalist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In collectivistic cultures, individuals are seen as embedded within their group identity, and the notion of a separate, autonomous self is deemphasized.

Detailed explanation-2: -Having strong families and friendship groups is important in these societies and people may sacrifice their happiness or time for the benefit of someone else or for the greater good of a group. Countries such as Portugal, Mexico and Turkey are examples of collectivist societies.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cross-cultural psychology, a collectivist culture is a community that prioritizes the group over the individual. Collectivistic cultures emphasize personality traits and attributes like cohesion, harmony, duty, interdependence, achievement of group goals, and conflict avoidance.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, workers who live in a collectivist culture might strive to sacrifice their own happiness for the greater good of the group. Those from individualistic cultures, on the other hand, may feel that their own well-being and goals carry greater weight.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main difference between these two types of cultures is the value system on which each culture is based: individualistic cultures value the individual, whereas collectivistic cultures value the group.
