What's Wrong With Our Society ?

Just flip over our newspaper, browse over the latest news in the net or just linger around listening to housewives tales in the market.....something is just not right with the society today. I would say, violence is getting more violent these days. Why ? As the society is getting more develop and advance, the mentality of certain people is getting more corrupt and going nuts. Mostly are near adults or real adults who are supposed to be mature and rational in thinking but somehow, they just have to do things the wrong way, not having any conscience or outweighing their conscience to meet their own goals or agenda at the expense of others.

These people are getting so bold that they could do their shady business in broad daylight, in front of spectators who are too afraid to do anything or even to help like calling the cops or whatever. My nephew was mugged ; punched and kicked at a bus-stop in full view of people waiting to board buses by a group of youngsters in full-faced helmets. His spectacles was broken and his black sling bag was forcefully taken away. Maybe they thought that he had a laptop in it. Then yesterday, there's news  and video clip on robbers that robbed patrons at a mamak restaurant, acting a matter of fact as if it's their right to do so. Then there was the news that robbers had forcefully entered an octogenarian's house to rob her of her ancestral earrings by pulling them off her ears, resulting in torn earlobes. There are so many similar or even worse occurrences happening daily around the world. What's wrong and who to blame ? I just feel so angry and helpless about everything. There are so many theories, programs and measures taken by this group and that group of people but seem to have little effect and not getting much improvement. Animals seem to act better for they only prey for food.....
