"あまりにも長い間、私たちの社会では共通のコミュニティよりも無制限の個人主義を称賛してきました"

Simplified Meaning:

In our society, people have been encouraged to focus too much on doing things for themselves rather than working together. Think of it like a sports team where every player wants to be the star instead of passing the ball and helping each other. This can lead to selfish behavior and make it harder for everyone to succeed together. For example, if everyone in a neighborhood cares only about their own yard and not about the local park, the park might end up neglected and run down. But if neighbors work together, they can create a beautiful, enjoyable space for everyone. The idea here is to balance personal goals with looking out for the well-being of the whole community. By doing so, people can build a stronger, more supportive environment where everyone benefits.
