The Reversal of Western Democracy

The West somehow lost its confidence in itself and was very open to a political attack. The flowering moment I would say probably was during the 20th century. At that time 70% of Americans said patriotism is important to them, now it's down to 38%. 62%, that's two thirds roughly, people said religion was very important to them,. It's now down to below 40%. Having children, which you talked about a lot of the countries going to have a future, it's children and arts future. 60% of people thought it was very important. And now only 32, that's a massive shift in 25 years. There's also been a collapse in a commitment to community involvement.
