【正文】 ltureAbstractThe paper represents a different recognition between Chinese and American people towards individualism. American people regard individualism as “individuality”, while Chinese people think individualism is equivalent to “selfishness”. Different culture backgrounds between China and America result in the different recognitions toward individualism. As a social product and a phenomenon of the culture, right or wrong should not be branded with individualism and as a Marxist, an objective and dialectical method should be used to judge individualism. Only when Chinese people acknowledge individualism in a right, can they remove their misunderstanding towards individualism and the wrong exercise of it. Then after they realize individualism in a right way, they could take advantage of it in the construction of Chinese society and the development of themselves.Key WordsIndividualism。知足長樂是人們思考財(cái)富與幸福的關(guān)系的一種好的生活哲學(xué)觀。在這篇文章中，作者從《魯賓遜漂流記》中的魯賓遜身上，找到創(chuàng)新精神和知足長樂精神。但是逐漸地，它不能以相同的速度向前發(fā)展了。 innovation。從《魯賓遜漂流記》看創(chuàng)新精神和知足長樂The Spirit of Innovation and Satisfaction－The Thought of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson CrusoeAbstractAt present, society develops very quickly.
