Answer:

Individualism

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence shown above shows that as humankind decided to conform to the indicated rules of civilization, building for itself a hiding place that protected them through those rules. In doing so, man lost his individual capacity, following what the civilized mass promoted and losing what made each human being special, that is, losing the ability to use his feet.
