I believe that individual self-fulfillment or self-actualization is the most important of the eight value. I believe this because of what individual self-fulfillment represents which is the ability to express themselves and by extension “create their own identity” through that level of autonomy. This value is the very essence of what makes up the first amendment or freedom of speech as well as even bigger one's own pursuit of happiness.
Because this value is so core to what our Representative Republic stands for I believe that without this value the rest of the values would have nothing to based on, thus like a house of cards those values would crumble. It is because of this thought process that I believe that self-fulfillment is the most important of the eight values of free expression
