Objectivism is a philosophy that emphasizes that individual people are the most important thing in life. It teaches that each person should have the right to live their life in the way that makes them happy, as long as they don’t harm someone else. It also teaches that it’s important to think critically, and make decisions that are good for you and your friends, not just it's important to do what other people tell you. This means you have the right to think for yourself and decide what you want to do in life.
