The individual’s interests seems to be “more important” than society in today’s world

First of all, it’s important to say that I don’t agree with this phrase.
Nowadays, I think all of us are not focus in the individual’s interest. For the contrary, we are concentrated in society’s interests. I mean, in the physical appearance or in superficial characteristics because the society are turned more important in our lives. At the same time people try to create a good impression because the culture had changed, I mean now the importance of how we look or how see us the other people is very important for our personality.
Well, after think a lot about the topic, I conclude that there is a proverb related to it. This proverb is “don’t judge a book by its cover”. A good example is the girl who died of anorexia in Valparaiso. Her classmates were always saying her “you are so fat”, “you are ugly” and things like that. She was really affected. Because, she was sensitive and very shy. Also, she was introvert. So, she took a bad decision and finally she was seriously sick.
I like this proverb. Because, the most important is what we have in our inner instead of our superficial characteristics.

Actually, in all countries the most important problem is discrimination. Principally caused by our interest in what the society says about our appearance, behaviour, religion. If we accept that people are controlling us, it can become into a serious social problem.
For conclude, the individual’s interests are being changed, I mean, we are not giving them the real importance and if we want to create a better world we have to focus on what we want and give importance what the people are, not what they have.
