Collectivism

Very strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns most closely with collectivist values, as it emphasizes the importance of group decision-making. The idea that Congress should approve all military conflicts reflects the collectivist belief in the power of the group over the individual, in this case, the group being Congress and the individual being the President.

Strongly agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

This answer aligns closely with collectivist principles, which advocate for collective decision-making and shared responsibility, especially in matters of national or international importance such as military conflicts. Requiring Congressional approval ensures that decisions are made through a process of collective deliberation, reflecting a broader consensus and the collective will, which is a core value in collectivism. This approach also ensures that the decision to engage in military action is carefully considered and supported by a representative body, promoting accountability and transparency.

Strongly agree

No

Collectivism values the decision-making power of the group over the individual. Therefore, it would generally agree with the idea that Congress, representing the group, should have the power to approve all military conflicts, rather than the President making such decisions unilaterally.

Agree

No

From a collectivist perspective, decisions, especially those with significant consequences such as military action, should be made collectively rather than by a single individual. Requiring Congressional approval ensures a broader representation and deliberation, aligning with the collectivist value of group consensus and collective responsibility. This approach promotes a more democratic and inclusive decision-making process, reflecting the collective will.

Disagree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of group decision-making and the welfare of the community over individual autonomy. Allowing a single individual, even the President, to unilaterally decide on military action against Al-Qaeda without consulting the broader legislative body contradicts the collectivist principle of shared decision-making. However, the score is not lower because in certain emergency situations, swift action might be prioritized for the collective good.

Disagree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the power of the group over the individual. In this case, the group is represented by Congress, and the individual by the President. Therefore, collectivism would generally disagree with the idea of the President having the power to authorize military force without the approval of the group (Congress).

Disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

While the urgency to prevent another terrorist attack is understandable, the collectivist ideology would likely disagree with bypassing collective decision-making processes, even in the face of imminent threats. The emphasis on 'whatever means necessary' without collective approval or oversight could lead to unilateral decisions that might not reflect the collective will or best interest, undermining the principles of shared responsibility and accountability.

Disagree

Yes, we must use whatever means necessary to prevent another terrorist attack

While the sentiment of protecting the collective from harm aligns with collectivist values, the means suggested here - unilateral decision making by the President - does not. Collectivism would prefer a group decision-making process, such as approval by Congress.
