I think people in general are more egotistical now. It happens from the north to the south, from the west to the east. And it is about culture and individualistic cultural domination. While some values of an individualistic culture such as freedom, autonomy, and self-realization are desirable, other good values are absent and this absence leaves people very alone and unprotected in difficult times.
