I agree with most of what has been said.

I just wanted to add one thing:

I was in some class in college and the prof. put up a quote but didn't say who it was by or when it was from. It said something like "Young people today have no respect for elders etc. etc.". you all get the idea. Anyway, the Prof. asked the class when everyone thought the quote was created. People said 1990 etc.

Turns out the quote was from Socrates, and was a couple housand years old.

So we say that the world is getting worse, people have no respect, when maybe we haven't gotten any worse we've just stayed the same.
