Serious answer:

I think having a harmonious community is pretty clearly a very important value of human societies all over the world. However, what exactly is a harmonious community will vary, of course, depending on the social norms of the particular society.

I also think the obsession with "individual freedom" that many so-called "Western" societies have is more of an aberration, relative to history and societies in general throughout the world. Or let me rephrase this: there isn't really a conflict between the "individual" and the "community" in non-modern, non-"Western" societies.
