Very true, I can see the wisdom behind your words! I feel like technology plays a big role in this as well focusing more towards the individual. We have apps and services aimed at producing "custom goods" for customers, and everyone gets pulled into a me me me mentality.
I can't help but feel that part of this behavior comes from the fear of failing and be let down by peers. Although it is good to be self-empowering, a person should aim not just to improve themselves, but those around them as well.
