What has changed?
The, we can do it, is now don't want to.
The I will work for it, replaced with, it will be given to me.
The go and earn it became, I deserve it. And on and on.
"YES" the mentality of the younger generations has changed. We are no longer a people of honor, pride, hard work, selflessness, dedication, those ideas have been taught out of their mindset. And they have been replaced with You are a part of a whole, you are not special, you are no different, you deserve it, you have a right to it, and on and on.
If history has taught us anything, it is, that the free will of a people will be taken away for the greater good, or given by those that represent them.
