Explanation:

It has been noticed by several sociological studies that Western societies tend to be more individualistic, while Asian societies tend to worry about the collectivity. When individualism prevails, society is more concerned with the rights, goals, and even flaws of the individuals. When asked about who they are, people in such societies tend to answer about themselves as detached from groups. On the other hand, in collectivist societies, people tend to think of themselves as part of groups. They are taught to act in the way that is most beneficial for all, instead of worrying only about themselves and their own goals.
