According to philosopher Rom Harré, the Inuit have a less individualistic sense of self. This is reflected in the way their emotions are tied up with those around them. If the people in their community are sad, they tend to be sad too. If their community is rejoicing, they rejoice. Similarly, decisions are made from the perspective of the family or clan, not of the individual.
