The western culture has become a glutinous self indulgent culture. Hard to say otherwise. Self restraint id no longer a cultural norm, eaten away by modern media.
This is a problem with humanity.
In good times many become over indulgent and glutinous.
Bad times creates people with more discipline.
But nobody wants a constant state of bad times.
Is this a problem with humanity, or just a sub-conscious, natural phenomena that occurs in times of abundance?
