is it just me or do we live in a world of lawlessness/carelessness?
I noticed watching and talking with people about certain things like raising children and just keeping a community safe people don't take it seriously. For example: I was at work last night"I am a security guard", but the basketball camp students which are highschool students are staying at the dorm room for a basketball competition. Now there coaches are there and the students have a cerfew, but I couldn't help but notice the coaches left them unattended and all went out to get drunk. The students were running around being boys way past their cerfew, and the coaches didn't get back until 5 in the morning. I brought this up toy boyfriend and he said if he was their coach he would have done the same thing as well. I said if I was the parent I wouldn't leave my children with an adult who is under the influence let alone leaving them alone like that. I noticed people don't really care for the well being of other especially children any more. Why has this world become a self centered world?

I think the world is actually getting better in most places. People have always behaved like that. They just look at the past through rose-colored glasses. It used to be socially acceptable to beat your wife and children, smoke while pregnant, drive under the influence, and do many other things that are not even legal today. If you go back even farther in history things like public torture and execution, bear-beating, and cat-burning were all popular forms of entertainment. In most of the world, war and violent crime are at an all-time low. You just don't know it because of the 24-hour news networks, which always have to find a tragedy to fill the time. I would much rather be alive today than at any other time in history.

You are suffering from indoctrination from our media. Sensationalism sells!! The violent crime rate in the USA has been going down through the years, especially since WW!!. Even with the exponential increase in population. crime keeps going down. Please don't let these sensational, over played stories, in the news, make you a prisoner in your own home. We are safer than we have been in the last 75 years.
Get FACTS, and come back to reality. Anecdotes, and second hand stories, won't do. News reports are the least reliable source of information.
