Rita A Collectivist

When looking at Source 1, it illustrates the perspective of a collectivist. Rita Chen is advocating for prosperity, equality, freedom for all and increased government help. She believes in the idea of a socialist society where there is a high degree of government involvement in citizens lives, with elements of a private enterprise. Which means that government will be involved but citizens are still able to own their businesses without too much government involvement. Furthermore, there are lots of social programs and funding but, those results in high taxes. Rita is a collectivist who wants to live in a country with democratic socialism, which is Canada.
