One of the most infamous things Mrs. Thatcher said when she was Prime Minister was that "there is no such thing as society - there are individual men and women, and there are families" - just the sort of sentiment with which Mrs. Birling would hardheartedly concur.
Like Priestley, I believe the opposite - that we are all connected and therefore have a responsibility to consider how our actions affect other people.
"Only connect" as EM Forster put it.
