The question posed by Mr Hofstede - "to what extend is an individual is part of the collective or to what extend an individual is supposed to stand on his/her feet?" - can be answered this way: "to whatever extend the individual feels happy and accomplished being independent from the collective." Some find themselves in altruism, a self-sacrifice, in collectivism, and others in exercise of their will. Some enjoy being masters, and others to conform. COERCION, lack of FREE WILL is another topic
People confuse economic systems with forms of government. When economic interests influence government or vice versa, what you get is facism. Government should have no power over the economy because then economic interests would have no incentive to gain government power.
I just think extremists are what causes inbalance in the world. It's like Avatar the Last Airbender: although it is derived from Asian (collectivist) influences, regardless you have the Avatar that is interculturally competent of water, Earth, fire, and air; the other is the ethnocentric tyrants that want to rule over everything.
You gotta understand that we all have attributes of the other, it is just we all currently live by cultural patterns that change in a vast period of time (^_0)^
for millions of years, power never existed beyond where we could 'see' it.
it wasn't necessarily decentralised within the group, but the groups were small so it didn't necessarily trap people into a system.
(speaking very generally btw)
these same instinct lead people to obtain, and others to support centralised power - except the problem is that we're not adapted to living in such large group, and therefore don't necessarily see the difference between centralised government and tribe.
The ego is the cause of all human suffering, it plays the oldest trick in the book, divide and rule. Then it makes a judgement of the other or indeed the self and then seeks to control.
How the self sees the self and how the self creates the other outside the self is the key to unlocking the prison with no bars.
We are architecturally unique as physical beings, ir's the one thing we all have in common, but functionally in all ways we are the same.
The problems of the world are initially caused by groups or individuals trying to control another set of groups or individuals. CONTROL of responsible, honest, liberal peoples ideals leads to wars. Think about it.
@D33Lux Individualism is based on the fact that you are free do as you will so long as that doesn't harm or infringe the rights of others to do as they will.

@wyrwich Yes that's how it should be, but unfortunately its not. Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away...those are then privileges.
