Irene Anthony · Answer 1

collectivism

Explanation:

Collectivism is a type of culture in which the social organization in such that the priority is often given to a group rather than a single individual. Thus, this type of culture emphasizes being a part of the group and doesn't allow a single person to be in importance. In the given example, Fred is sent to a village and the people of the village are working collectively for the greater benefit of the community rather than that of any particular individual and thus, this example illustrates that collectivism exists in the village.
