My belief is that the US has too many people who believe that they're 'entitled' to getting everything they want without putting in any of the effort and/or work into it. They believe that they're 'entitled' to a girlfriend even though they make no effort to cultivate a relationship based on mutual respect; that they're 'entitled' to a job that pays $20/hour immediately out of college or high school, etc. Where I place the blame for the 'entitlement' culture is on our society from corporations that force parents to work themselves to death in order to keep food on the table to day cares and others who sit kids in front of television sets and/or Ipads for hours at a time in order to keep them occupied while they do other things; the list goes into the schools which teach kids that life is supposed to be 'fair' when it's not. All we're breeding is a bunch of conceited people who can't handle rejection and haven't learned any self-restraint.
