Further, given that the ideals of individualism (i.e., independence, personalized goals and desire to gain self-recognition) are often supported in university life in the United States (e.g., Hwang, et al., 2003), the expectation was that students high in individualism would express greater self-efficacy with regard to their academic performance.
Research in the scholarship of teaching and learning has also suggested one’s personal orientation of individualism versus collectivism may influence various classroom behaviors such as asking questions (e.g., Fassinger, 1995; Hwang, Francesco, and Kessler, 2003), and suggested that students with a collectivistic orientation may be less involved and perform poorer in large lecture courses.

As a youth, she had been repelled by the communists' political program, and now an adult, she was also more fully aware of the destructive effects that the revolution had had on Russian society more broadly.
Not believing, however, that she would be free under the Soviet system to write the kinds of books she wanted to write, she resolved to leave Russia and go to America.

They share a common collectivist political premise of government control over individuals, but a major distinction between them is that the Marxists at least claimed to be in favor of people, whereas today's environmentalists want to sacrifice people to nature.
Marxist collectivism did not in fact promote the welfare of real people because its collectivism demanded that individuals be sacrificed to an abstraction called "the people"- n denying the freedom and self-interest of actual individuals it necessarily failed economically.
Contemporary environmentalists have dropped the pretense and now openly oppose nearly any kind of economic development in the name of protecting nature from alterations by man. The collective to which we are to be sacrificed now consists of trees, rocks and species of insects.
