Ideas to Improve

Hello! As a part of my sociology class, I was assigned to choose a Wikipedia page in which I would try to improve with the resources available through my university. When seeing the page, I saw that it was very bare and I would love to keep adding to the information and do some structural additions to the page.Mvale086 (talk) 19:49, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

language links revision

we should take a moment to evaluate the language links. this article talks about social structures, the one in portuguese, for instance, talks about a specific type of not for profit organization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.185.143 (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On Collectivism

Regarding this portion of the article: "Collectivist social organization refers to developing countries that bypasses formal institutions and rather rely on informal institutions to uphold contractual obligations. This organization relies on a horizontal social structure, stressing relationships within communities rather than a social hierarchy between them. This kind of system has been largely attributed to cultures with strong religious, ethnic, or familial group ties and has been used in reference to developing countries. Therefore, they have suffered from colonialist efforts to establish individualistic social organizations that contradict indigenous cultural values. This has negative implications for interactions between groups rather than within them.[citation needed]"

This is not what collectivist social organization refers to. Collectivist cultures can be, and often are, very hierarchal (therefore vertical, not horizontal). This type of social organization is also not unique to "developing countries". There are plenty of developed nations with elements of collectivism in their societies. Though some more collectivist developing countries have surely suffered from European colonialism, to suggest that individualism is imperial or western is just silly. Almost every society has elements of individualism and collectivism. This article, and this portion in particular, is in desperate need of editing and review. 2601:400:8000:4310:A122:38F5:7AB:EE78 (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One-sided?

For concepts like "collectivist education" (see Anton Makarenko), or any other type of collectivism in the socialist meaning, the definition offered here is useless. And that's a huge field. I can see that there are other articles out there, but the link collectivist leads right to this page, to the "Collectivism and individualism" section, and that's at least technically wrong.

The redirect is incorrect

If I am looking for an article on collectivism, why does it redirect me to a totally unrelated page? This is like looking for a page about bananas and redirecting me to a page about fruit. I suspect the redirect is probably politically motivated and therefore biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.61.96.199 (talk) 15:36, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
