I disagree. There's plenty of historical and present evidence of people who cared deeply for a collective of people (country, village, town, group, family). There have been people who would risk their lives, and in some cases commit suicide in various capacities, for their country and people. There are people who go to world's most unstable places just to help people there. A more concrete example, one of many, would be María Santos Gorrostieta Salazar[1], who had a total of 4 assassination attempts against her, with the final one eventually getting her killed, as a result of fighting organised crime. You can't tell me this person didn't care deeply for her people and country. I think the possible cause for indifference today, especially in developed countries, is because people can afford to be indifferent with little consequence to their quality of life. You can go about your life only caring about your most immediate circle, and things will still be relatively comfortable. I speculate that it's the matter of having no need to go beyond your comfort zone apart from moral ideals. Even then, people are just fine living with a slight discomfort of not living up to their ideals, or straight up re-evaluating and adjusting them like in this post. 1 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Santos_Gorrostieta_Salazar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Santos_Gorrostiet...
