The question,,.-' Is our society
centred around this idea of
individualism?" arises. There are
many trends which would indicate
this. Both men and women are
shunning the 'stereotypes' of
yesteryear and searching instead
for personal fulfillment. Will this
lead to a society of well-adjusted,
satisfied people, or will this spur
the individualism that has theore-
tically ruined two previous civiliz-
ations? Questions such as "Are
more people hurting others to
benefit themselves?" and "How
many people actually put others
before themselves?" come to
mind. No one person can make a

The benefits and, drawbacks of
an individualistic society remain
unclear. If the achievement of
individual desires promotes self-
fulfillment and greater individual
security, it stands to reason that
these individuals' should be able
to interact successfully in a
society. However, if the stereo-

The decision-of each individual
as to what he wishes to accom-

do this, affects what kind of a
society he -lives in. Whether to
have concern for other people, or
to put personal desires before all

make sometime during our lives.
If a majority of people choose to
seek individual desires only,
destruction may result. However,
if most people 'care about the

The over the counter drugs that

The best thing to do for a cold is
to rest in bed for a couple of days.
If you have a fever than aspirin is
the best choice. Nosedrops or
nasal spray can provide relief for
the nose and permit the sinuses to
drain. But if you use nosedrops
too frequently it can make the
nasal congestion worse.
