Have you any examples of this? I can't think of one.

this has happened in the past due to poverty , etc .. but it's so much worse now - and by choice.. our values are changing ... a lot of people are losing a sense of what a healthy society is (except for the ones who go to the other extreme and are freakish about it)

This is a very common arguement. Every generation thinks that theirs its a society with worse moral problems/crime/poverty than the ones that proceeded it. This is simplying not true. Which would you consider safer the the New York now or that of 100 years ago.
However despite the decrease in crime - the has been a biiger increase in the reporting of crime and also the medias depiction of it and the creation of moral panics.
Look at the 1980s where America was in a panic about the kidnappings of children by satanic cults.
