Are we regressing as a society?

[Brain Muscle]

In the medieval ages, people used to be spectators to horrible events like beheadings and burning at the stake.

Then we evolved as a culture. Most states don't even have the death penalty anymore, as it has been deemed by some barbaric, as it is an "eye for an eye" mentality.

Now, when someone is being beaten up or even killed in front of us, not only do we not help, but we take video of it to share on social media later. These videos get a LOT of hits and 99% of the comments express that the viewer was entertained by it or even agreed with the vigilante.

For example: the Cleveland bus incident. Now that was all because it was a WOMAN "being put in her place." The bus driver's actions no where near constituted self defense....yet hundreds of thousands condone and celebrate his barbaric actions. That's not even "eye for an eye" that's more like "two eyes for one eye."

SO ... are we regressing as a society...back to the dark ages?
