This one kills me. I always wondered about it...I mean, especially as a woman--there is seriously no better time to be alive. If I'd been born even 150 years ago, chances are I'd have died young, my children might not have made it to adulthood, chances of me being able to read or write would be nil, unless I was born into a wealthy family. Make certain I would not have been able to vote, work, or even go outside without being covered from my ankles to my wrists. How is that better? Maybe better if you are some patriarchal asshole who thinks women's suffrage was the beginning of the downfall of civilization.
Medicine, education, and even daily living is so much better now--all OVER the world. Some places are much better off than others, of course, but even 'third world' countries are improving steadily.
As far as immorality goes, well--anyone who's done any reading or research on the Greek and Roman empires can vouch for the depravity of their societies.
