Hyper-Individualism, Overconsumption, & The Downfall of Society

In this video, we're exploring the rise of our hyper-individualist culture that is only concerned with personal desires and the personal pursuit of success while losing any sense of collective responsibility for taking care of each other and the natural environment. We also explore how "success" has become synonymous with material possessions - money, cars, clothes, etc.

I hope you enjoy & let me know your thoughts in the comments!
