The pandemic has, among other things, accelerated a drifting process that was already evident through the deep-rooted individualism of the Western world, whereby the individual withdraws, delegating the tackling of problems to institutions, only to then feel a continuous and profound dissatisfaction at the institutions’ inability to respond to continually arising needs.
