Book excerpt: In today's Information Age, resolving the conflict between individualism and collectivism is one of the greatest challenges in society, particularly in countries such as China - but also in conservative Islamic countries, which are challenged with harmonising mainstream ethics and civil liberties into their collective psychological- and philosophical system of beliefs; such as civil rights, gender equality and democracy. Hence this book explores cutting-edge theories and policies to reconcile individualism and collectivism - especially in China - so that human rights, civil liberties and happiness can be improved in the world's most populous country; which includes the implementation of Universal Suffrage in China. This study also explores some progressive concepts to improve personality development and social cohesion in our global community; which includes the basic and fundamental concept of peaceful human interaction.
