Summary/Abstract: This paper is based on making a parallel between the ideas presented by Emil Cioran about Romania of his day and how these ideas are or are no longer current. In addition to the old inferiority complex, our country has developed another one, more controversial and parasite, which we called: the complex of the external help. We will also take into account the current report established between nationalism, internationalism and universalism. Last but not least, we will discuss about the place occupied by Rumania in the parallel between minor culture-major culture or collectivistic culture and individualistic culture.
