Every older generation has thought that the younger generations are somehow different: more lazy, disrespectful, and less aware of history than their generation was. But men of all generations grow up, get a job, have kids, and gain a healthy respect for history.
2,400 years ago, Socrates had this to say about the younger generation:
"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise."
