abstract = {"The paper examines the sociological reflections of individualization processes in
Germany and the USA. In this comparison it appears that German sociology
identifies a 'dialectical individualization' whereas sociology in the US ascertains
a 'social individualization'. It is elaborated that the actual cause for this
difference (which is important for, but mostly ignored in the public-political
discourse) is on the one hand the relative cultural inheritance, and on the other
hand the developments of post World-War II. Thus, the example of
individualization shows that sociological theory has to be more sensitive towards
cultural idiosyncrasies and towards specific historical steps in development." (author's abstract)},
