I get the impression your culture is more 'self' related than thinking of being a member of a society. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just different (certainly from the attitudes in my country).

Hence the reason a topic like vaccinations has become so polarizing. Doing something for the good of the community in which you live should be a simple thing. But there is an increasing number of people who feel that their freedoms and rights outweigh those of the people they live and work with.
