Patriotism: Probably somewhat less than the post WWII years, but MUCH stronger than the Vietnam and Watergate years.

Morality: We are aware of immorality more today than ever before because of satellite TV and the internet, but I am confident the morality (from a sexual standpoint) was simarlily loose among many folks in years past, just not as evident. As for morality in the way we treat other people, unlike ourselves (speaking as a male, white, protestant) we are miles ahead of where we were in the 50s and 60s. For example, I recall a black person being badly beaten for being in my small midwestern hometown after dark, which was actually against an old law still on the books in 1960.

Spirtuality: I am concerned that younger people do not seem to be attending church as regularly as our generation did, but am not sure that it indicates as much a lack of spirituality, as it does a lack of confidence in organized religion. There are many cases of religious improprieties which could cause people to want to deal with their spirituality in more personal ways, again partly the result of much much more information available.

All-in-all, I don't have a feeling that we are any worse off in these areas than we were, for the most part, during my childhood. Mores and attitudes tend to change and evolve all the time, and I don't think that is a sign of the apocolypse.
