Default Re: Decline of Values?

To put things in some perspective, think of this quote:

"Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers."

Sadly, I can't find the complete text but it was said by Socrates, the Greek philosopher (469 BC - 399 BC). If the Greeks had these complaints about their children and teens, something tells me our complaints about ethics, morals, etc. are just as ancient and ongoing.
