1. What might it be like to be in a society where there are no "selves" and "we" has replaced "I"? This question that has been opposed opun me is one quit puzzling in a way. I think that this would take away a lot of misunderstood perceptions of people which others oppose on them at times. When speaking of no "selves" this could stop a lot of greed but at the same time courrpt a person because no one is the same, because if there are no selves then it's we. Then again, if there is I how can we become we?
2.I think that names give an effect of what her concept is, as far as what the book is about. Often as the reader, reads you can notice that the character is not exactly addressed with a name but, with a number. Which is strange to me ,because I haven't yet graspped a full understanding of Ms.Rands writing.
3. I believe that the unspeakable word could possible change if used. This may happen only if, the people who take offense to it changes it's purpose. With this being said, over time in history we have seen the effect of words that it may have on one, but then in the long run it changes meaning for the one it was meant to take offense to but still has the same history in pass behind it.

"Man's Right's" vs "Collectivized Right's"
Ayn Rand, just from the little I have read is a very opinionated woman. The two portions of the article from my reading where very interesting. In the article a "Man's Right" she explored her opions expressing her philospy on the subject. Also in the reading "Collectivized Right's" she did the same but, set the two articles apart.
Ayn Rand took in the first article expressed what people should have the right to. Then in her next one she expressed the different moral right's and man's rights. Which to me contradited itself in a way. This is because in my own opinon how can something be justified by the world but at the same time be morally right even when wrong?
I believe that she has a great mind and plenty of great philosphy. All and all maybe she didn't contradict herself when writing but just merely opposed a different theory in her writng. I look forward to viewing more of her work and taking the time out to scrutinize her philosphy.
