It is possible to have a collectivist subculture within an individualistic culture. An example of such a collective subculture is hackers. They exist in a manner that is a group of people who are selfish in that they tend to do only what values them forgetting about the community.

We can, therefore, not that people see what they want but what you want. Secondly,…
