I just read up on the situation I believe you were talking about and, my sister having been through the same thing, it does tick me off a lot. Now I understand exactly what you were talking about. I was thinking news media not social media (I should have payed more attention to what you typed.) It does appear to be a dramatic generational shift as it seems to be happening more and more but it doesn't mean that its strictly downhill. I believe society as a whole will get worse, then when that becomes a serious enough threat to human survival, it'll get better just to get worse again.

Social media seems to be broadcasting the state of mind that it's cool to be a bad person. Social Media has spread this idea that "I can say and do whatever I want and no one can do anything about it." It's just taking expressing oneself to the farthest level possible. I actually know people who justify their bad actions by saying things like "I'm gonna be me and I'm not gonna let even the government tell me who to be." It just seems to me that human beings were not even meant to be given free will since you give them even the smallest bit of freedom and they tend to blow it out of proportion. People need rules and in the world we live in, enforcing those rules is being met with severe resistance by the civilian population. I'm sorry if I'm getting off track here, I'm trying to explain it as well as I can but the topic of morality and justifying one's actions is a pretty big deal to me.
