An individualistic society

We have only how much each person wants to contribute to society. But as a whole, we don't have much because we all care for each other. In caring for each other, we care for society because each one family/person, adds to the good of society on a whole. With one bad person, it takes the entire scale off balance, which is what we have and we cannot change it because the person has to change it themselves. What society itself can do is not much except for setting an example on how much better it is to be one way. But the one bad egg can be looked on society in two ways, a rebel which could turn the whole of society on it's tail and make what was good bad, and bad good. Or they can be looked as a criminal to their society (which they may actually be) and may be detained or terminated depending on how much of the society notices. Society does it because they cannot be both, they just want to be one large pie instead of two separate ones, they don't like to choose...usually, which is where a bad (or good depending on the individual) egg can come in. The word society is slightly off in it's definition because it's meant to be a group of people (rather large) but we are all individuals who sometimes think in the same way, making us a society. So society shouldn't only mean a large group of people, but a large group of people who generally think the same. 
Society only has one obligation and that is to try and be good. But that changes with each individual because not many people can think exactly alike, so the perception of good to some people, can be bad to others. But the older generation of society has to set up an example to follow for the younger society which will follow in its footsteps. They also have to try to make the path smoother for the younger generation to follow so as life gets older, it would be easier for the young to move forward and create their society to be the top in the world. We in the United States have our societies do exactly that so that we can beat out other countries in how good our economy/society is, and even when it is down, we are still better than others. And the older generations have the younger ones learn from their mistakes so we don't do it, which is what most of them see as bad, despite how other countries would see it as good. 
Society, under any circumstances, don't have to follow the rules and/or laws we are "required" to follow. They were just put there by the older society that has passed so the society today, does not have to follow them, but they do because that's what they think is the good way, besides certain parts of society. The older society put them there to show the younger that their way was much better than not having any rules/law at all, but we are allowed to change them or think differently. In "Pirates of the Caribbean" it shows this perfectly well. There were rules put down by the pirate court before Barbossa and Jack, being the society before them, and you were supposed to follow it no matter what. But Barbossa just slightly pushes it aside so that he can create a rules so that he can show his crew how to handle anything in certain situations. When talking to Elizabeth because she for the first time comes onto the Black Pearl, he says "First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner ." The third sentence puts the second one out of existence because he doesn't want to follow the code she be a pirate or not. So as our society moves forward the laws will change due to the rebels in society or just the whole of the younger society.
