People lose a sense of shame
Rudeness is taken as a sign of sophistication
People pursue the pleasure of the moment
They lose respect for leaders
The young no longer defer to the old
The old behave as if they were young
The difference between the sexes is blurred
People get irritated by the least touch of authority
They dislike rules that inhibit their freedom
Plato on the growth of democracy in Athens
V Ce BC
Plus ça change plus ça la même chose.
