No, I don't think that is true. I bet people said the same thing in the 20's.

Excellent topic my friend, these are some morals/values I think are declining:
1) natural love among family members
2) respect for authority (in jobs, government, teachers, parents)
3) hospitality to our neighbors
4) respect for Godly principles
5) abstinence (some people don't care anymore about virginity until marriage)
6) Respect for the elderly
7) the value of school education

I thoroughly accept as true with you. they seem to have this romantic theory of existence interior the best previous days. for many they weren't that good. I surely have a concern with the romantic theory of the fifty's. in case you incredibly seem at it women folk could be taken aback and appalled. They have been fairly lots instructed, ok the adult males are back, pass domicile shield that guy and be barefoot and pregnant. What are those human beings asserting? there have been some remoted bigots? Get with this technique. The national look after had to be called out to get Southern faculties desegregated. Lynchings, shootings, beatings have been person-friendly prepare everywhere in the south. What on the instant is oftentimes used because of the fact the bible belt.

It is kind of true. Back in our golden age in the 1910's to the 40's we were actually better than we are today. Back then, people knew that violence wasn't an answer. There was better quality in presidency and in the media.
Nowadays, we have Sgt. Cookoo Bananas in charge (George Bush), it's nothing but murder, sex, gossip and all that. The world isn't just losing its way morally, it's also losing its way spiritually.

Yes! Overemphasis on personal freedom is leading to so many other moral problems like divorce, immoral sexual behaviours, lack of respect to parents and old people, disrespect to sanctity and dignity of human life (revealed by high rate of abortion and murdr for baseless reasons).

people always say that.
How was the Jim Crow/back-of-the-bus era more moral?
How were Amos n Andy days more moral?
How were the days of sweatshops and child labor more moral?
