After exploring the collectivism in Korea, it triggers me to explore more about the difference between individualism and collectivism. They are just two different ways of organizing society. Individualism holds that individual people are the most important thing. Collectivism holds that group is more important. Each organizing type has its own advantage:
Individualism:
- Respecting individuals right and allow people to truly be themselves.
- People are free to do what they want to do and who they are. Change can happen and society can improve.
- Producing more diverse and interesting society.
Collectivism:
- Less likely to leave people behind.
- Reduce selfishness.
- Connected each individual with society.
