Says who? This seems completely arbitrary. What aim is furthered by restricting society from judging the individual, or vice versa? I don't think we have a common ground because I'm not sure at all what point you're trying to make. What do you mean by society? Every individual? Or some sort of subset? How small can that subset get before it's not "society" anymore? And what does judge mean? Why can't a group of people "judge" an individual? Do you mean make bad judgments, incomplete judgments, unfair judgments? I'm not trying to give you trouble over semantics. I just don't understand your contention. That social scientists can't differentiate between individual and collective behavior?We should not judge indavidual (sic) actions as a society, or societal actions as an indavidual (sic).
