DATA: on How Society has moved on in US

The following information is courtesy my friend Arun Garg. It appears in book "Can Asians Think?" by Kishore Mahbubani.

The united states has untertaken a massive social experiment, tearing down social institution after social institution that restrained the invidual. The results have been disastrous. Since 1960 the US population has increased 41% percent, while violent crime has risen by 560 percent, single-mother births by 419%, divorce rates by 300%, and the percentage of children living in single parent homes by 300%. This is massive social decay. Many a society shdders at the prospect of this happening on its shores. But instead of travelling overseas with humality. Americans confidently preach the virtues of unfettered individual freedom, blithely ignoring the visible social consequences.

Do u still want to fly america??
