Interestingly, in a somewhat related notion, I’ve been noticing that there’s been a recent push in society towards individuality (over collectivism). In the way people view right or wrong, many have started to believe in their own preferences as ideals. While it’s good to have differences, it’s interesting to see the downstream effects of an overcorrection for the self. For example, doctors are now being accused of immorally attacking someone for being obese (seen as a personality trait), when in reality they’re just trying to help patients be aware of their unhealthy habits so they can improve their condition. Because we tie how we view the world to our individuality, we also adopt our own flaws as part of our objective compass. And things get interesting when people with that same frame of mind run into each other.
