Paper Details

This study explores the mutual permeation and fusion of Eastern and Western cultural values in the contemporary era of globalization, focusing on the interplay between Chinese collectivism and Western individualism. This study delves into the core characteristics and principles of collectivism in China and individualism in the West. Furthermore, this study compares the differences in cognitive patterns and thinking styles between Eastern and Western cultures and analyzes the impact of these differences on cross-cultural communication and cultural integration. Additionally, this paper discusses the significance of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures in international relations, cultural innovation, and societal progress. Finally, we emphasize how the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures has practical implications for fields such as education, management, economic development, and international relations, ultimately advocating for an increasingly open, diverse, and innovative environment.
