An individual is an individual that exists as a unique existence. Personality (or self) is the person's state or quality, especially those who are separated from others and have their own needs, goals, rights, responsibilities. In the fields of biology, law, philosophy, it is important to accurately define individuals. Individuals are "indivisible" from before the 15 th century (and today in the fields of statistics and metaphysics), usually representing an arbitrary number of singularities, but sometimes it means "one person."

British philosopher John Rock (1632-1704) was one of the pioneers in the discussion of the concept of individual rights. In the 17th century, he increased his personal natural rights to life, freedom and property as one of his personal objectives, and pursued happiness. As understood now, the conceptual part of private life is a relic of contemporary Western society. In particular, people in the United States place great importance on privacy. Since the colonial period, critics have been aware of American personalityism and pursuit of their self definition. In fact, the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution clearly promote the pursuit of happiness and expectation for privacy to the right level.

Individuals with individual freedom and a high level of indices like the United States, individuals with low index levels like China and Japan have individual harmony and integration. According to a survey on 53 countries and regions of Hofstead, America is ranked first in individualism, Hong Kong is in 36th place, Taiwan is in 43rd place, respectively, 91, 25, 17th place. From the point of scoring, it is clear that there is a big difference between individual attitudes toward individualism and collectivism among countries.
