The principle of _____ holds that a person's primary goal is to achieve long-term self-interests.

A) utilitarianism
B) individual rights
C) relativity
D) individualism

The principle of individualism holds that individuals should make decisions based on their own interests and preferences. It emphasizes the importance of autonomy and self-determination, and suggests that people should be free to pursue their own goals without interference from others. This can sometimes conflict with other ethical principles, such as utilitarianism (which prioritizes the greater good) and individual rights (which emphasizes the protection of individual liberties and freedoms).
