What are your observations on society and where it’s headed?

I despair at parents of small people in this day who allow their pampered offspring to bully the adults. There is little respect shown to or required by the adults, with those kids growing up without any guidance or inkling of what the consequences of their actions could be. Manners seems to be a forgotten notion, no please, thanks or may I be excused from the table as it is so old-hat to have a family meal away from TV!!!!
Double income parents are the worst offenders as they don't understand their kids' basic need; loving time with mum and dad--not the "stuff" overload. It is the home environment which gives the youngsters the guidance to consider others instead of just themselves.
