Default Re: How the UK has changed and not.

Yeh some very valid points.
Each and every person is responsible for their actions, and at this moment in time there may be a lot of self serving behaviour within our communities.

I think it's always good to balance our perspectives, especially when it's so easy to get dragged into a negative outlook on life when a lot of the content in our papers is filled with news on violence and tradgedy.

Understanding that people build their perceptions of what's right or wrong based on what they see (media having a large effect), and acknowledging that their may be decent people fundamentally behind their ego driven actions is important I think.

Having this outlook wont prevent you from getting mugged, bullied or generally from being effected by such behaviours, but it will help you to see through it all and perhaps emphasise with the people.
