Can someone here that's older than I am explain why so many people revere older generations and times as being superior to what we have now?
I mean, considering our advancements not only in the sciences and technological spheres, resulting in significantly improved medicinal capabilities and whatnot, but also in terms of our social conscience, with our having ended discrimination and advanced the causes of civil rights, liberty and all that stuff across the globe...
Why do politicians still get off on rapping about "traditional values"?
You look at the arguments of why the old days were better, and they're all extremely sketchy and grasping at straws, from "the music was better" to "divorce rates were lower (which might have been a bad thing)", etc, etc. Compared to the medical science and egalitarian policies we take for granted today, it seems kind of petty.
