Palma and the rest of you,
Funny you should say this:
Note that it is unclear whether the young people of, say Poland & Tibet
were
more caring in 1937, note more caring than what?
since if you go into the background report on Ipsos Mori you'll find the
following comment:
One of most important conclusions from this review is that we should
often take a ‘culture before cohort’ approach: the differences between
countries (outside a tight-knit group of US, UK and similar Western
democracies – but also often even within these) generally dwarf the
differences between cohorts. Even within the generational effects we do
see, understanding these more global trends is vital: one of the key
drivers of generational difference in the West is the seismic shift of
power to the South and East, making a brighter future for the young in
established markets much less certain.
That being said what's south and what's east is so relative (these
days). Just ask yourself south of what? East as in East Germany or the
Far East, which isn't really that far and anyway will be even less far
with the coming trade agreement between Japan and the Eu.
Anywho, it wasn't really a question of caring -- it's something the
stubborn mind of Palma has interjected -- as much as it was a matter of
TRUSTING and how this element has been shaped by the social media. After
a weekend on one of the major platforms can you ever trust anyone again?
Keep cool under the palms,
