Just my opinion. I don't think things have necessarily gotten worse, I would just say different. The 20th century was a time of change and rapid change. We went from not being able to fly to traveling in space. We went from limited medicines to a vast array of drive thru pharmacies. During the 50s on TV, husband and wife didin't sleep in the same bed, today we not only have the same bed but we have the whole neighborhood in the same bed. The world changed and so did human beings and the limits with what we are willing to accept. People were prejudice and everyone in the world suffered in one way or another whether it was the Jews in WWII, the Palestinans after that, the Japanese from the Atomic Bomb, the Americans from racial inequality, Vietnam etc. The list as you know goes on and on but we have changing times and the best we can do is adapt, hence evolution with respect to the survival of the fittest. We cannot hold grudges against history but we should be able to learn from it so as not to repeat our mistakes.
