Why are empathy, respect, and cooperation declining in society?

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship and social drama so you don’t lose your mind or your heart, haha 😏

Empathy, respect, and cooperation feel like they’re dropping because people are more isolated, online conflict is rewarded, and everyone’s stuck in survival mode. Social media lovebombs outrage, not kindness. Families, communities, and real-life support systems are weaker, so people become defensive, transactional, and quick to ghost instead of connect.

Empathy comes through experience and training and people are too distracted to build experience or training.

The rise of Fascism has killed empathy, respect, and cooperation and made it acceptable to be a loudmouthed asshole with a low IQ. And the human cockroaches of MAGA and their counterparts in the EU have come running out from under the rocks they hide under.

It used to be considered good to love thy neighbour and bad to be an arsehole. That seems to have reversed in public discourse.

I don't think the changes have been nearly as marked on a personal or local level as they are made to appear online.

Because hatred and resentment are winning the battle and people are getting tired of trying to understand others. So empathy, respect and cooperation are disappearing.

It's been replaced by hate and it is ramped in the US today.

I think it's a mix of things. Poor parenting and education. Tribalism. Social media

[Nikki1989]

Overlapping shifts in modern life that are driving this change. People waste time believing the rubbish posted by trolls online instead of trusting their instincts. This website is a classic example of that phenomenon.

i do not know your politics, but people follow their leader

[Abbycado]

Right. Do you have a quantitative measure of this or just your own opinion? Also, being the same age…over what timespan?

[FreyaRed]

There is nothing to declining, those things never existed on level of societies.

[In_Trance]

Because due to technology there is less human interaction directly

[Masie]

I belive a lot has to do with a lack of tolerance for anything different than what someone believes in.

That would effect all three of the things that you mentioned. I see that where I live.

Whenever people hate you it is human nature to hate them back.

Crime rise with time but it could crash.

[MrChinaski]

Violent crime rates have been plummeting since 1990. In the US, for example, murder rates have halved. Property crime is lower too.
