People in the United States use to have higher standards and expectations for themselves. Specifically, people use to look out for their neighbors well being.

Part of this disturbing and growing trend in modern times is the mentality of winning at any cost. Whether it be entertainers, elected officials, special interest groups, advertising campaigns, lawyers, professional and collegiate athletes, and fans and supporters, many of society ignore the illegal, unethical, and immoral behavior of these figures all at the expense of winning.
