CLASH!: 8 CULTURAL CONFLICTS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE

Book ID/图书代码： 12844012B56746

English Summary/英文概要： What kind of person are you?

Are you independent--individual, unique, and in control of your world? Are you interdependent--relational, similar to others, and good at adjusting to situations

Or are you both?

In Clash!, leading cultural psychologists Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner show us how our cultural backgrounds create and reflect these two basic ways of being a self, which then shape everything from how we run our governments to how we raise our children.

Markus and Conner also demonstrate how clashes between independence and interdependence fuel many of today’s most pressing conflicts, including tensions between East and West, the Global North and Global South, men and women, blacks and whites, conservative and liberal, religious groups, rich and poor, and businesses, governments, and nonprofits.

Provocative and entertaining, Clash! offers solutions to many of the problems that plague our workplaces, schools, and relationships. For readers of The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaille and The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki, it doesn’t just explain who we are, it also envisions who we could become.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 請從以下兩個選項中，選出一種符合妳的選項：

1. 「獨立」(independent)：個人主義、認為自己很獨特、自己足以影響身邊的一切甚至整個世界
2. 「依存」(interdependent)：和他人有關聯、相互依存、與他人有相似處、擅長適應環境

或者這兩種特質妳通通都有？妳最常運用哪種特質來面對周遭世界？

文化心理學家Hazel Rose Markus和Alana Conner於此書中分析我們身處的文化背景如何形塑、反映出這兩種基本人格特質：「獨立」(independent)與「依存」(interdependent)，這兩種人格特質甚至影響到大至各國政府的運作，小至父母養育孩子的方法。

這兩項彼此衝突的特質同時也是點燃其他衝突的引爆點，包括東方v.s.西方、南半球v.s.北半球、男性v.s.女性、黑人v.s.白人、保守派v.s.自由派、不同宗教團體間的衝突、富人v.s.窮人，以及不同行業、各國政府及非營利組織之間的衝突。

本書由文化心理學權威、美國人文與科學院院士及史丹福大學教授Hazel Rose Markus, PhD，以及創新科技博物館副館長、專精於文化心理學的科學編輯兼作家Alana Conner, PhD撰寫，分析個人如何群聚成文化，文化如何塑造個人，進而找出最適合自己的生存方式，甚至跳脫文化-個人的迴圈。
