☆ Individualism :
Individualism is the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that emphasizes the moral worth of the individual. Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance and advocate that interests of the individual should achieve precedence over the state or a social group, while opposing external interference upon one's own interests by society or institutions such as the government. Individualism is often defined in contrast to totalitarianism, collectivism, authoritarianism, communitarianism, statism, cosmopolitanism, tribalism, altruism, and more corporate social forms.
Individualism makes the individual its focus and so starts "with the fundamental premise that the human individual is of primary importance in the struggle for liberation. Classical liberalism, existentialism, and anarchism are examples of movements that take the human individual as a central unit of analysis. Individualism thus involves "the right of the individual to freedom and self-realization”.
It has also been used as a term denoting "The quality of being an individual; individuality”related to possessing "An individual characteristic; a quirk.” Individualism is thus also associated with artistic and bohemianinterests and lifestyles where there is a tendency towards self-creation and experimentation as opposed to tradition or popular mass opinions and behaviors as so also with humanist philosophical positions and ethics.
Individualism is a prime value in US society. In an individualistic society such as ours, the needs and wants of an individual take precedence over the needs of the group.
Positives to individualism include the freedom for a person to choose his or her own destiny. From early on, this has been valued in American life, at least for white males. For example, in his essay "Self-Reliance," Emerson admonished young men to follow the stirrings of their own hearts and consciences, rather than doing what their families might expect them to do to conform to social norms.
For Emerson, and earlier Americans, individualism was rooted in the divine. Emerson was a transcendentalist, but he emerged from a Protestant Christianity that valued the primacy of the individual conscience, as well as the individual's personal relationship with God. Puritans and Quakers came to this continent seeking religious freedom—in fact, their religions were lumped in England under the label of "Nonconformism," and they were known as "Dissenters." So from our earliest beginnings, individualism informed the American consciousness, though, ironically, this was also severely limited in some places, such as the Massachusetts Bay Colony, with strict guidelines about how to live one's external life.
This tension between individualism and conformity to the group continues to inform American life. We value individualism, rewarding individual achievers with wealth. We allow individuals to keep the bulk of the money they earn. However, this can come into tension with American social norms of human decency, which understand that all wealth is not earned (much is inherited) and that poverty is often not the fault of an individual. We continue to struggle to mediate between meeting the basic needs of all people while, at the same time, rewarding individuals for their efforts and achievements. Therefore, while the role of individualism in our society is twofold, both allowing for freedom of conscience and encouraging the highest possible creativity and achievement, it is also tempered by a strong current of social justice.
Individuality is the act of expressing one's personal views and likes regarding specific topic. The role of individualism has to do a lot with diversification, independent thought, and freedom of emotion. It colors each person with a unique shade, and it allows for others to follow suit into looking for what they really like and believe in. When you practice individualism you are creating a canon for your own use. You have the joy of knowing that you are operating under your own system of wants and needs, and that nobody can tell you that you are wrong because, after all, you are unique.
In all, individualism is the best way to bring the world to change. If we all behaved, acted, dressed, ate, and worshiped the same way, we would not have a very cosmopolitan nor intelligent society.
☆ Romantic Hero :
The Romantic hero is a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, has been rejected by society, and has himself (or herself) as the center of his or her own existence.The Romantic hero is often the protagonist in a literary work, and the primary focus is on the character's thoughts rather than his or her actions.

The Romantic hero is often the protagonist in the literary work and there is a primary focus on the character's thoughts rather than his or her actions. Literary critic Northrop Frye noted that the Romantic hero is often "placed outside the structure of civilization and therefore represents the force of physical nature, amoral or ruthless, yet with a sense of power, and often leadership, that society has impoverished itself by rejecting". Other characteristics of the romantic hero include introspection, the triumph of the individual over the "restraints of theological and social conventions", wanderlust, melancholy, misanthropy, alienation, and isolation. However, another common trait of the Romantic hero is regret for his actions, and self-criticism, often leading to philanthropy, which stops the character from ending romantically. An example of this trait is Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo. The Romantic hero first began appearing in literature during the Romantic period, in works by such authors as Byron, Keats, and Goethe, and is seen in part as a response to the French Revolution. As Napoleon, the "living model of a hero", became a disappointment to many, the typical notion of the hero as upholding social order began to be challenged. Classic literary examples of the romantic hero include Gwynplaine from Hugo's The Man who Laughs, Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, Byron's Don Juan, Chateaubriand's René[4], Tolstoy's Andrei Bolkonsky from War and Peace, Cooper's "Hawkeye" from The Leatherstocking Tales, and Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe from his seven novels about the Los Angeles detective.
