Individualism and collectivism in Brazilian reality

Abstract

Nowadays, Brazil has been faced with deep social and legal changes that will cause the predominance of collectivism over individualism, which does not mean that such a process has occurred in a pacific way. On the contrary, what is noticed is the strong resistance of individualism, which tries to avoid collectivism from progressing. However, in spite of the real fight going on these days between such opposite trends and the typical slowness of social and legal changes, individualism, more and more distant from Brazilian reality, will undoubtedly be overcome by collectivism, the major symbol of the new era.
