#1 We've had a certain transition of our own here stateside. Yes I too feel we are evolving into a much hardened and bitter people. Alot of folks feel they are owed something rather than work for the better good.
I remember going up in an elevator with a doctor another woman and her daughter, with the woman degrading the doctor in front of the little girl. I will never forget the little girl looking up learning about behavior while her mom was yelling at the doctor. In hindsight I am truly sorry that I never intervened, I was so shocked by it. People show no respect for one another anymore it seems.
That being said, what can we do about it?
I am very proud to be an American,
I wonder how many folks living here are.
I love my country and what we stand for.
I wonder how many folks living here do.
I love where I live and my neighbors,
I wonder how many folks can say they love their neighbors.
I will never again allow someone to berate someone, everyone deserves to be treated with respect. We need to break the cycle.
I still believe that you need to earn something to appreciate it, not just be handed to you on a plate.

#3 Why do young people consider it cool to be arrogant, swaggering and rude?

Simply because there is no price exacted for behaving in this manner. If the little turds that act this way were taken down the first time, it's highly unlikely they'd do it again.
