There is a logic to:
-Extreme desire for individuality leads to avoidance of communal activities like bathing

Dubious logic at best.

You can also flip that and say:

That's a logical fallacy. If A contributes to B, it does not necessarily follow that B contributes to A.

-a society that lacks emphasis on communal activities, like bathing, can lead to a perception that all behaviors should be done on an individualistic level and not with any sense of community, thus leading to hyper individualism.

That's quite a leap. Maybe a given society emphasizes some communal activities and not others. Who is to say which contributes more to a sense of individuality vs. community than another?
