@sergeypikalov our concepts and approach derive inspiration from many sources, including Geert Hofstede, Edmund Hall, Stella Ting-Toomey and others. I imagine the Peace Corps too has looked at these brilliant thinkers, writers and researchers -- I love that the Peace Corps is using these concepts, fantastic!
The US was founded as an 'I' but every government I know of is a we. The government tells you you'll be ok because you're part of the 'We'. Under the 'We' the root of a problem is hardly dept with. If society was an I society it would be more clear where the problem lies because there isn't a safety net protecting the really problem from truly being addressed. When it comes down to it, its all about how YOU live YOUR life. All problems come down to individuals "I"
In saying that, Individualism won't work; ultimately - complete Individualism is anarchy. Anarchy would turn to the biggest guns and the strongest person to gain power - turns to Totalitarianism (Collectivism) almost instantly.
Can't there be an intermediate position where you are free but loyal, where loyal does not suffocate personal enjoyment and uniqueness, yet you see the value in furthering human civilisation?
I'm so happy to hear this video was helpful to you! It is actually one of our favorites, and we work with it a lot, personally and in training/teaching.

A mid-ground between Individualism and Collectivism is the optimal choice.

Collectivism will not work. One persons's utopia is another's dystopia.

Thank you! I love this dimension also; it explains so concisely the rules really generating how we "automatically" respond in so many situations.

Nice explanation. I am from Pakistan and Hofstede's cultural dimension of collectivism /individualism is one of my favourites.
