The individual vs. collectivism. In this time of covid unrest it’s an interesting subject to ponder. The ladies chat with Tony Puente aka Tio Tony. Tio Tony is an awesome surfer, good friend and neuropsychologist who knows a thing or two about human behavior and has extensive experience in both individualistic societies like we have here in the US and also collectivist cultures such as his birth country of Cuba and Grenada. Tio Tony drops knowledge in relation to the societal types and how our culture may be affecting the current pandemic situation.
