I would say the "moral degeneracy" is a greater indicator than anything. Just here in America alone, there are NO, absolutely NO boundaries anymore. Anything goes. Most people have no decency, no humility, no pride. They are not embarrassed by anything. The more gross and disgusting and crude something or someone is, the more people like it. They don't consider anything to be private or personal anymore. And few people understand decorum and common sense.
