no it is not just you although their is still loyalty as well as respect it seems harder and harder to find with each new generation.My best guess it's heridatary just like most family values, when their is no more absolutes to follow, kids will fall for anything. I blame parents for not to teaching their children well, with each passing generation social responceability seems to detereate with that you have a generation with less and less value for anything..

Loyalty, what loyalty - employees have no loyalty to employers and vice-versa, same goes with politicians. What have you done for me lately is the order of the day.
Respect., what? the law, parents, elders, language, diversity, attire etc. Its not you only - the level of respect is getting lower by the day in all aspects I have mentioned. It is not uncommon for kids to call their mom - bitch or generally for people to use 4 letter words.
will both L and R come back? not so soon unless dicipline is brought back at schools, homes churches etc. AND that must begin at home. Values must be taught and expected or we will have 'me only' kids, unhappy parents, no-care attitudes and so on......NOT A PRETTY PICTURE. Two important word must come back to begin with: SORRY. THANk YOU.

There are many people who do have respect and are loyal, but the ones who don't tend to get the camera and front page.
Respect goes both ways nowadays. When I was young, it was expected that I would always be respectful of my elders, no matter what. I even got "the paddle" at school when I was in 7th grade.
Today, students are well-aware of the fact that a teacher can't so much as touch your shoulder to get your attention. It's all talk now and kids just hear "blahblahblah". Consequences are minimal and parents intervene; some kids grow up thinking they are untouchable. That's how it is in the public schools in California.
Entitlement programs and Welfare also give people the false idea that they are special and deserve something for nothing. Why work when you get it for free.
Those "flower children" of the 60's who let their kids run wild in the 70's and 80's didn't make society any more respectful or loyal. It's a domino effect and once it starts, it isn't going to stop unless some dominoes the avalanche hasn't reached are pushed out of the line.
That means looking to the future and making the changes NOW. Anyone???????

because their parent (s) don't teach them respect for others, or respect for their elders. The reason why ---is that their parents don't have any manners either. Social skills and manners are greatly lacking in our society. Most teachers will tell you that. I think a lot of it has to do with kids being raised by the TV, violent video games and movies. Marx said that if you want to control a society , then get a- hold of the childrens' mind while they're young.

I don't believe your statement is just or true, but a matter of opinion. If you look back in recent history you will see that each generation says the same basic things about the following group.The current political situation is a perfect example of intense loyality to a philosophy or idea. As far as people are concerned loyality must be either earned, conferred or purchased and respect must be earned and deserved. People deserve respect unless they demonstrate otherwise, but I haven't see where people are any different than they were in the fifties when I came up.

When things hurt, you are learning a life lesson. If you choose not to learn it, that lesson will keep rearing it's ugly head. Think about what you are learning. Learn it. Walk away.
Crummy people just stop showing up.
If they do remind yourself of what you have learned and it is gone like dust in the wind.
This is your life...take the trash to the can.

What do you expect if the govt. take away parents rights to disipline their kids, when they do something wrong the parents are at fault, you can't have your cake and eat it too. I blame mostly the goody two shoes that lobbied and got what they want. the kids of today have no respect ( including girls) for themselves so don't expect to get respect from them, they have to be aware and accountable for thier actions, and be punished appropiately, not a pat on the head. The wierd thing about this is, it's a world wide problem. No matter what the minorities want, the majority must demand to get back to basics, in the home, at school, law enforcement and in the work place.
