Have kids changed, or has society changed?

[harm_less]

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

AUTHOR: Socrates (469ÔÇô399 B.C.)


What has changed?

Social media and the interconnectedness of us in general as a result of the internet. The deterioration of civil norms and distrust of accepted knowledge (i.e. science) has infitrated all levels of society and as children and adolescents have always been rebellious the increased communication and attachment to kindred spirits has very much been exacerbated by this.
