Rest in Peace

A large misconception people generally seem to accept is "things were so much better back in the day!" This is simply not true. Things (in general) have only progressed forward and have become better. It is easy to pick out the extremes and assume that is the norm, however, that is not the case. The only real difference between the young people of today, and of the young people of yesteryear... we are much much more technologically gifted, and therefore (arguably) more informed.

ThatGuy, how many WWII vets know how to work a predator drone? let alone email...(j\k). I am willing to bet most young cadets/privates/grunts (or whatever they call them!), even the Gomer Piles of the group (how about that for an old school reference), could work the new technology with little to no training just because that is what they have grown up with. Just food for thought I guess... Things were not better "back in the day" and that is a undeniable truth!

So common sense will never die. Ethics is changing, as is the majority's moral code.

For better or For worse? and if you do have an answer for that, how do you know that it is either?

There isn't a better or worse form of ethics. It is something that surroundings enstill in people.

As for morals, that is different from every person.

The reason people aren't the same as from ages ago, is due to the whole nation changing over time.

There were times when women weren't considered a true working class, and as they started to fight for CHANGE (cue Obama), things were different. Same for women sleeping in the same bed as men on tv and what not.

Over time things started to depart from the social norm, and eventually became the norm.

Music is a perfect example. Rock & Roll, or even Motown music was considered edgy, alternative, and raunchy. Now a days it is FAR from what we have today.

It is times that are different.

That's why I say, the use of common sense being, dead or whatever is wrong.

If you want proof it is a ethical thing that is changing, go to another country, and things will be different that one is use to if you pay attention.
