Sometimes we think so. However I'm not sure, whether it's always true. Although in TV we can see lots of violence and sex, but these two things always have been there - in some Ages were they hidden in small dark rooms, but they were still there. If we look at the Time of Middle Age, we'll see that it was full of violence. People had thousands sorts of torture - as I could see in the Museum of Medieval Torture in Prague. The worst were the ages of inquisition. These women (and sometimes also men) were tortured in the ways, you couldn't even imagine.
And after I have seen this display, I almost fully realised, how terribly is one person able to hurt another person - in every era of mankind (Inquisition, Nazism, Times of different monarchies,...). It was my little view into the perversity of human beeing. And I didn't like it at all. However, it was a very edifying experience. Now if I compare the Middle Age and these days, I definitely choose these days! This Age brings lots of possibilities how to improve the life, how to help people in need, how to communicate with people and how to share our experiences. It all has its disadvantages - everything can be abused. Is it the reason to think, that everything in this time is spoiled???
I don't believe so.
