There is an important part of this society that lives locked in itself, prey to a fierce antisocial individualism that diminishes the rest of those who live with them.
It is the kind of people who leave the car parked on the sidewalk, because they will take "a second" to pick up the child or buy tobacco; and they don't stop to think that in that "second" some parents pushing a baby carriage, or a supermarket delivery man with a loaded cart, or a person in a wheelchair can pass by that obstructed sidewalk.
Those people who do not pick up their dog's poop, or leave the garbage bag at the foot of the bin because they are in a hurry, or because the bin mechanism is new and it is not worth investing a little of their time to find out how it works; and they do not notice the bad smell that is generated or the sticky stains that it leaves on the sidewalk and that all the passers-by who pass by there will step on, spreading them.
The type of people who turn up the volume of the car or home radio very high because they like to listen to it that way, or shout in the street; without worrying that other people will be forced to listen to that music, and maybe one of them works the night shift and sleeps at that time, another has the flu and is trying to doze, and another is studying because tomorrow he has an important exam.
People who do not use the turn signals while driving because it is very clear that "they are going there", or who go very fast because "they drive very well"; and they do not stop to think that they can cause an accident because the rest of the drivers are fortune tellers, or because the reaction and braking distances are not only influenced by the skill of the driver, but by the speed at which they are driving.
And those people are not necessarily bad, they are not sadists who act to cause harm to others premeditatedly and intentionally... Not at all. The problem is that those people do not think about others, they do not realize that their actions have consequences, which can be negative, for other people. It is as if they had the intimate certainty that they are above the rest: their time is worth more than yours, their right prevails over yours, they are more important than you... Those people make coexistence difficult, sometimes impossible, they involve continuous wear and tear by violating the most elementary rules of civic education over and over again. And the worst thing is that anyone who walks through these streets can realize that there are many of them.
