The article presents some of the reflections produced by Carl Gustav Jung regarding the relation between the individual and society and verifies the contributions that he brings to a better understanding of our time our time and the processes of formation and human development. This polarity is of fundamental importance in understanding ourselves and our way of being, especially since we usually tend toward one or the other end of the tension to one or the other extreme of tension. Today, according to his diagnosis, the predominant tendency is of identification with some collective function predominates today, stifling personal development and improvement. What matters, then, is primarily to adjust and identify oneself with a social role offered by the community in which we participate, and education contributes to this ideal of adjustment and conformity. The challenge, therefore, is the integration between the internal and the external world, with the development of the development of the person from the communion between its various aspects, including its shadows. It is the process of individuation, through which there is the approximation to the archetypal ideal of the Self-Self. Therefore, it is not a matter of neglecting social development, but associating to it the call that comes from the singularity, integrating both demands into a higher whole.
