Abstract

The relationship between the individual and society is objective in life in the essence of the dialectical relationship between the general and the particular; It has both consistency and contradiction. As a historical phenomenon, the personal-social relationship works, transforms and develops around the clock. With the development of society, the role of the individual and its boundary in relation to the society must be clearly defined. In each country or nation, in a particular cultural context, the personal-social relationship manifests itself in different ways. Particularly, there is a fundamental difference between Western and Eastern culture when considering this relationship. Within the scope of the article, the author approaches, exploits the similarities of some Eastern countries (including Vietnam) about the concept and orientation to solve the relationship between the individual and society. This is considered to be a new direction on the issue that has not been deeply researched during this period.
