In the 80's it was all about attitude. You need to have attitude in everything that you do! Job, clothes, hair. But society didn't accept what was actually meant by the term...a can-do attitude. No, instead society developed; just an attitude.
Enter the 90's and it was all about never compromise! Never surrender! Combine that with attitude and society is on its way to self destruction. However, Never compromise actually meant...don't compromise your values, your moral code. But society embraced no compromising (what-so-ever) with attitude.
Then along came the 2000's; the decade of "no responsibility" Now those raised having an attitude of not compromising decided that they did not accept responsibility over their own actions, after-all, (nothing) was ever their fault.
Then came 2010 the decade of blame. It was because of (pick your scapegoat...men, whites, Christian, older, police, etc)
20"s saw the latest brick in the building of anarchy...division. Us against them, one side pitted against the other.
Attitude, no compromising, no responsibility, blame and division....the driving force behind all is; insecurity. Some, in positions of influence, figured out how to use societies insecurities as a means to control, manipulate and move their personal agenda's forward at the expense of a troubled country. So many of these traits, helpful to one's self-esteem, yet, instead they were turned to ugly and cruel caricatures of the wisdom that each word or phrase held. Now the taint has accelerated; we find other manifestations that are happening yearly instead of across decades, intolerance, assumptions, hate, censorship, the list continues; but it all comes down to one word that was somehow lost over time...Respect.
