> individualism as compared to east asian communitarianism
Again, that's because of a deep rooting in Confucianism. Also, "Communitarianism" is a western (Christian) philosophy. It may have been borrowed from Confucianism? I'm not sure. A lot of religions and philosophies share these kinds of values, so it's not unique to just one region / culture, IMO.
Anyhow, neither is better or worse, and probably a balance between communitarianism and individualism is best. All cultures can learn from each other.
