The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
A good example of how things have changed in how we deal with violence is the way that bullies are treated. back when my dad was in elementary school in the 50s, the principle didn't even think about sympathizing with the class bully when my dad beat him up one day. Today, you would have the parents self-righteously defending their little bundle of joy, professional agitators demanding action, and a school board ducking for cover--all to protect a violent kid from the consequences of his actions.
I would say that this change in our culture and legal system, not violent or debauched media, has contributed significantly more to the corrosion of morality than any other factor, if for no other reason than the fact that it's the only serious change in how we interact with violence as a society.
