I do not think that there such a current. However, I do think that there
is a cultural dichotomy regarding the individual and that to expose this
may cause a major upset.

It is good to hear that somebody else gets upset during the learning
process.

An interesting story that would mean a significant re-alignment of a
national cultural. It reminded me of an academic paper by William Evan of
The Wharton School, titled "Identification with the Human Species: A
Challenge for the Twenty-First Century".
