In my last column, I posed the question of whether we, as a society, are going up or going down. In other words, are things getting progressively better with only small bumps along the road to further advancement, or are things getting progressively worse with only temporary reprieves?
I gave examples from the areas of technology, economics and education and promised that a look at others areas was to come. So, today, we will briefly look at our collective morality, social mores and emotional health to see what evidence they provide.
