A Debate Over the Individualism-Collectivism Dichotomy
We will be having a debate on the validity of the Individualism/Collectivism dichotomy. Individualism is can be described as actions/behaviors that are focused on one’s selfish interests. Collectivism can be described as actions/behaviors that focus on the group’s interests rather than the individual’s. This dichotomy has been used frequently since its creation to describe and understand cultural behaviors and intercultural interactions. However, many scholars have called the widespread use of this dichotomy into question.
