    Communitarianism opposes

    • Multiculturalism

    • Individualism

    • Socialism

    • Marxism

    Correct Answer
    A. Individualism
    Explanation
    Communitarianism is a political and social philosophy that emphasizes the importance of community and collective values over individual rights and interests. It believes that individuals should prioritize the well-being of the community and work together for the common good. In opposition to this ideology, individualism promotes the autonomy and independence of individuals, valuing personal freedom and self-interest. Therefore, it is logical for communitarianism to oppose individualism as it goes against its core principles of prioritizing the community over individual needs and desires.
