I hate old people rants – you know, the ones where somebody goes off about how this “younger generation” and “kids these days” don’t have any sense of civility or respect. Luckily, David Brooks never goes there in his current op-ed, but instead discusses the absence of dignity in general American adult culture.
While I’m a bit more culturally relativist in regard to social manners of discourse, Brooks is always worth a read. Especially when he ends his pieces with a reflection on the cultural impact of President Barack Obama’s election.
