Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collectivist cultures emphasize the needs and goals of the group as a whole over the needs and desires of each individual. In such cultures, maintaining harmony and face (social standing, dignity, or honor) within the group is important. Therefore, being careful to bring up delicate topics with a boss in private, rather than in public, aligns with the values of collectivist cultures, as it shows respect for the social harmony and the superior's public image.
