colectivismo

Colectivismo is a cultural value that emphasizes the importance of the group—such as family, community, or nation—over individual desires or ambitions. It encourages cooperation, shared responsibilities, and loyalty to the group’s goals. In collectivist societies, decisions are often made with the group’s well-being in mind, and personal success is seen as interconnected with the group's success. This contrasts with individualism, which focuses on personal independence and self-expression. Collectivism helps foster strong social bonds and mutual support, promoting harmony and cohesion within the community.
