全球化背景下整体主义和个体主义的冲突与融合

The Conflict and Fusion between Collectivism and Individualism under Globalizing Circumstances

个体主义思想在西方社会具有悠久的历史,它突出强调人的独立、尊严和价值,而中国的传统文化深受儒家思想的影响,十分重视整体或社会的利益而忽视个体的利益。在近现代,随着西方文化对中国的入侵及中国社会的变化,个体主义与整体主义发生了三次剧烈冲突的同时也产生了融合。总的趋势是个体价值的分量会越来越重,但中国的主导价值观不会变为个人主义,也会有别于传统的集体主义。

In western countries, individual thought has a long history. It highlights the independence, dignity and the value of man. However Chinese traditional culture is deeply affected by Confucianism, so it emphasizes the interests of the collective and community while neglecting those of the individual＇ s. In modem times, with the invasion of western culture and the changes of Chinese society, three conflicts and confusions have taken place between collectivism and individualism. The trend is that the individual value will be getting heavier and heavier. But Chinese dominant value will never be individualism. It will also be different from the traditional collectivism.
