I feel this is very true. It is something I have witnessed in rural areas as well as the young farmers 'play' the 'I own more than you do' game. Our society has become a 'me first', 'you owe me' mindset. Is it 100% that way, no, but I feel it is more than half whether they would admit it or not, their actions do.
