At least I think so and tend to agree mostly these days.
The sheer stupidity and obstinate, ignorant behavior is at a peak.
It's a refreshing take on a big issue.
Of course, those who are not adults and can face life head on, I am sure will object to this view.
What is your view on this subject?
Have you experienced a lot of obstinate, whining non adults?
Good article in The Economist.

@RebeccasFarm oh yes, so true. And the language they use, I think that they have less vocabularies

I think you can trace some of this immaturity to when parents stopped raising children and tried to be their friend instead. Kids need guidance, a mature role model to follow to grow into responsible adults not someone acting as a BFF.
In addition, parents stopped saying no and gave in to whatever their kid wanted as to not cause them any emotional harm. Instead, it stunted their emotional growth.
Schools also played a part by protecting a child's psyche. A good example is "everyone is a winner" in athletic contests. No 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards, everyone gets a ribbon or prize. This feeds entitlement which results in tantrums and whining if they don't get their way.

It's for the adult parents to groom their children. Culture can be improved.

@RebeccasFarm That's the same thing in India. People are becoming more uncultured these days which is being reflected on the children.

Can't read the article. Needs subscription. What you mentioned is quite true. But not just western culture.
