It's no surprise, then, that the latest generation of societies who have been raised in such environments increasingly appear to exhibit some of the same characteristics.

Today's common expectation of "entitlement" without the need for sacrifice or contribution ("I'm entitled! - it's someone else's problem/fault, not my responsibility"), and the resulting jealousy and spite for those who were astute enough to assume responsibility, and now enjoy the benefits of their sacrifices and contributions - are among the common character traits which come to mind these days.
