The narcissistic, self centered, anything goes mentality she describes is on the increase across all generations and many older people who used to abide by certain standards are no longer doing so either. It feels like everyone is scrambling for what's left in a society which emphasizes the self as supreme. I don't disagree with her observation about gen.
