Could you elaborate on this? Did you mean people are more egocentric and less aware of the people around them?
If that is what you meant, then I think its not due to individualism, but due to "group thinking", which makes it alot easier to externalize problems to a group, and not act as an individual. You will see how more and more responsibilities are put on the welfarestate in both the US and Europe, and less and less responsibility on the individual.
I think the world need more individualism, because its the only thing that really reminds us, that we can do and should do a difference in this life/world.
