My two cents...
It's not more right or more wrong than individualism; it's just an alternate way of thinking.
Think about when you were put in groups in school... If you assigned a job to everyone in the group, and if everyone did their part, your group would be very successful. No one person would get more credit than anyone else. In the same situation, if there was a kid left out and they decided to do things on their own, it could also be as beneficial... but what if there was something they didn't know how to do? In that case, a group would've been better.
We've already established that there are pros and cons to both. I know I probably won't be able to change your mindset that it's just plain wrong, though, as you seem very set in your thinking.
