Seems like every generation goes overboard in some way. My grandparents' generation is notorious for being tight with money and raised their kids that way. So then their children (my parents' generation) gave their kids (my generation) everything because they didn't get anything growing up. So my generation seems like we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. So now that my generation is having children we're known as the over-parenting generation. Because our parents didn't do anything to discipline us, now we're being super-overprotective.

I have noticed and have had conversations with several people about how it seems like nobody understands common courtesy anymore. If someone is walking in front of me and doesn't hold the door open I say "THANKS" really loud to them so that they know. People here on campus will just stand in the middle of the hallway and not give a crap if you are trying to walk. It just seems like people are becoming so un-self-aware (if thats a word lol).

Everything I do it seems like I think of how it will effect other people. It just doesn't seem like people think that way anymore. I feel like we're all getting so selfish. And Dr. Drew actually wrote a book about how our obsession with celebrities is creating a higher rate of narcissism in the US and I totally agree with that. Seems like people just don't care anymore.
