Question 1

Differentiate the Individualistic and Collectivism components in Malaysian family culture.

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and achievement. Individualist culture, awards social status to personal accomplishments such as important discoveries, innovations, great artistic or humanitarian achievements and all actions that make an individual stand out. Collectivism, in contrast, emphasizes embeddedness of individuals in a larger group. It encourages conformity and discourages individuals from dissenting and standing out.

Individualism and collectivism are thought to have widespread influence on how the relationship between the self as well as other people is conceptualized. Collectivists see themselves as similar to members and make a strong boundary. Individualists see themselves as more differentiated and separate from other people, including family and friends. Individualists frequently think of self- reliance as being able to pursue their own goals, while for collectivists, self- reliance mean not being a burden.

Malaysia being a collectivist country, which Malaysia depicts a collectivist country are given, namely parenting style, self-esteem, organizational values, and communication practices. Collectivism more precisely is a term used to describe any moral, political, or social outlook, that stresses human interdependence and the importance of a collective, rather than the importance of separate individuals. Collectivists focus on community and society and seek to give priority to group goals over individual goals. It supports the view that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Society as a whole can be seen as having more meaning or value than the separate individuals that make up that society.
