As one who dedicated his life to children as a teacher, I can attest to the veracity of this article. It has been a slow, subtle change until recently when it accelerated rapidly. I worry for my grandchildren being brought up in a world where only greed is rewarded and altruism is vanquished as soon as it shows its face.
