Loyal, out going, and responsible are personality traits of a collectivist, while personality traits of an individualist are self-ish, self-centered, and self-reliant. I think people following the opinions or statements of someone higher up is an individualist society because it is one person's idea and it is empowering that person and that person only. If a collectivist teacher went to an individualist body of students and was holding a class discussion, not everyone would participate, only the ones that really cared about his or her grade. An acquaintance is someone you work with, but your not close with. This word has a positive connotation because it is not necessarily a bad thing that you work with people you don't really know.
