Collectivism

• Considering the needs of a group, or the common good, to be more important then an individual in the group.

• Collective- A group of people.

• It can refer to a family, nation, race, or any group of people.

Human Interdependence

• Collectivism is based on the idea that all humans are dependent on each other to have society work.

• We need everybody, and their respective talents, for society to function effectively.

• People are not independent, but get fulfillment from human interaction.

An Example:

• In Canada we all pay employment insurance.

• Unless you loose your job, you may never access this.

• What would an Individualist argue?

• What would a collectivist argue?

Early Collectivist

• Most early humans were collectivist.

• Due to the amount of work needed for tasks without modern technology, people had to work together.

Political Collectivism

• Rousseau was one of the earliest collectivist.• His book “the Social Contract” explains how

each individual is responsible to the group.• Each individual gives up their own interest for

the will of society.• All rules apply equally to everybody.• These ideas have become the basic

foundations for ideologies such as Socialism and Communism.

Karl Marx

• 1848 political philosopher published the communist manifesto.

• Marx, like Rousseau, felt that capitalism left people poor and a small segment of the population rich.

• Marx felt that society should share all property and resources for the common good.

Socialism and Communism

• Ideology in which private property and the distribution of income controlled by everyone.

• equal access to resources for all individuals.

• socialists share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society.

Collective Interest

• Can be thought of as a thought or idea that all members of the group follow in order to benefit the group.

Collective Interest

• These ideas still work in our society.

• Our action are often determined on what is best for society over just one person.

• We listen to the majority or the interest of the majority.

Collective responsibility

• As well as society having collective interest, we also have collective responsibility.

• Unions will look after the welfare of their workers, they must also ensure that workers do the best work.

• A Group may be rewarded or punished for an individuals actions.

Collective Responsibility

• An Environmentalist perspective:

• If we don’t start recycling and taking care of our planet in Canada the rest of the world will suffer, as will the children of the future.

Collectivism in North Korea

• Much different then Canada’s liberal democracy.

• North Korea is a communist dictatorship.

• Let’s talk about its history.

North Korea

• The state was run by Kim il-sung from 1948 until 1994.

• His son Kim Jong-il has been in control since.

• They have no taxes and the monthly income in an average of $47.00.

• They have little to no trade with the outside world.

North Korea

The Korean War

Collective Responsibility

• It is illegal to work against, or support movements, against the state.

Collectivism and Economic

• Industrialization led to great wealth.

• But, workers were not wealthy.

• This, along with the ideas of Marx, led to collectivism.

Private Property

• The right to own property is key to individualism.

• However, in collectivist society people value public property.

• The idea that each person should have economic equality.

• Workers should collectively own a factory.

Collectivist Argue

• What might a collectivist argue about Public Property?

• What might an individualist argue?

In Canada…

• We all have private property.

• But, to a lesser extent we also have collective property.

• The government owns massive lands known as Crown Lands.

• The sale or rental of these lands gives money back to the Canadian people.

• We also have crown corporations.

That’s it we are done…
