it's a common arguement because there is a lot of truth to it.
we have different moral problems/crime/etc than the generations before us.
where there are some checks and balances in place (police in schools, better strategies dealing with crime) the problems are bigger with broken families and unwanted kids. it isnt just inner city anymore - its far more widespread.
there is more access to negative images than ever before and more kids in the position to be negatively influenced by it.
most well adjusted kids in well adjusted families arent at risk - except as victims of the criminals.
i cant speak to new york now or 100 years ago becauyse i wasnt around 100 years ago and i dont live there.
i can speak to changes in the last 45+ years that i've seen before my eyes,.
it would be foolish to deny some things havent gotten worse. and the blueprints are laid down now for things to get even worse in the near future.
