Ignorance is Bliss

Society has many flaws that we may or may not know about. Individuals tend to ignore different issues because they don't want to take responsibility for the truth. People don't want to donate money or sacrifice their own belongings to help others in need. In the story about the slaughter house the cleaning people fell into the machines and died could have easily be fixed by paying for safer equipment. Individuals in society don't care about issues unless they personally affect them.
