Alfred Tennyson wrote:We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Its culture has suffered in the face of what they like to call success. When I was a kid the question "What do you want to be when you grow up," was met by answers like a fireman, policeman, doctor or nurse. By the time I was in high school that had predominantly changed to, "I want to be rich." Now, they weren't expressing that they wanted to become financiers, bankers or traders - don't let's talk about the math that we are certain we will never have to use again beyond the classroom. They simply wanted to become rich by whatever means. The purpose involved in how they got there had become unimportant. America devolved into a moral quagmire where a real estate developer who stole people's houses and land or a draft dodger could become president, and call it righteous.
