Collectivism

Agree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the priority of group goals over individual goals and often supports the use of state power to achieve collective security and harmony. Historically, collectivist societies, such as those under communist or socialist governments, have shown a willingness to adopt extensive surveillance measures to maintain social order and public safety. For example, the use of surveillance technology in the Soviet Union and contemporary China, where the government employs a vast network of cameras equipped with facial recognition technology to monitor its citizens, reflects a collectivist endorsement of such measures for the sake of societal well-being. However, the score is not a full 5 because there is also an understanding within collectivism that such measures should not completely override individual rights and freedoms without a justified cause.

Disagree

No

While collectivism prioritizes the collective over the individual, there is still an inherent value placed on community trust and cohesion. Excessive surveillance, especially without transparent oversight or clear benefits to public safety, can erode trust between the government and its citizens, potentially leading to social unrest or a breakdown in the collective harmony. Moreover, in some collectivist cultures, there is a strong value placed on communal consent and consensus, which mass surveillance without clear public support might violate. Therefore, there might be some resistance within collectivist ideologies to the unbridled use of facial recognition technology for mass surveillance, especially if it is perceived to infringe upon communal values or the social contract. However, the negative score is moderate because the overarching goal of public safety and social harmony in collectivist societies might still justify surveillance under certain conditions.
