To many people are not taking enough notice, individualism far outweighs the collective probaby because our individual small worlds are to the individuals the big picture and in that exists the inability for many to see further, trying to look past that "small world" I suspect presents nothing much better than a blur, and as I was taught the brain can be very "lazy" at times and in complex situations with multiple conflicting information to process in short periods of time - even more so when no immediate threat is actually present - it very often can and does result in the brain taking the easiest way out, it no longer applies strict analysis and important details are no longer given the attention. An example is most would sooner spend 10 minutes being told what to think as a pose spending hours working out what they should be thinking 10 minutes on a news broadcast they will walk away convincing themselves they now have all the facts to make a considered opinion after which they will slip back into their own world and move on to whatever their personal interests happen to be. This method has obviously been taken advantage of extremely well along side the use of fear which unless kept in check like emotion will overrule true rational thought in many.
