Is it true that the world is becoming immoral?

Morality is a value judgement.  I can't possibly answer your question accurately unless I understand just how you define the term "immoral."\n\nThat said, I think that our race has been pretty consistantly cruel to our fellow men (and especially our women).  Slavery, public burnings, political massacres, etc.  History is full of acts that most would consider immoral, even the Old Testement of the Bible is a virtual textbook of cruel and "immoral" behaviors, justified because the writers were "chosen by God".\n\nMy final answer?  "The world" wasn't moral in the first place, so it isn't really possible for it to become immoral.  Besides, planets don't behave immorally, people do.

Yes it is. Interestingly enough, it is ALSO an effect of progress. technological progress.

No, because all of the materials used to make people are constantly being recycled.\n\nThe mass of the earth is increasing, however, because of the constant bombardment of the planet with cosmic dust and stuff.

Depends on your idea of morality. Our society is certainly more tolerant about matters like sex outside of marriage and homosexuality. And our commitment to some ideals of economic justice has definitely diminished. But we have become much less tolerant of domestic violence, drunk driving, and racial discrimination. The lists could go on and on and on. Like in every other age and time, some things get 'better' while some get 'worse'.

Society is evolving, some generations are getting better, some worse.\n\nOver time natural selection will take over, the people who do "better"  will continue, those who do not will fade away.

It's called moral decay...and you are right...it's what happens to all societies when they shift from survival to rich and decadent

Yes, as are women. Society has imposed morals on itself to help curb this type of behavior, since we don't have a need any longer to keep growing the species.

There was a time not so long ago when the future looked promising....end of the cold war, the emergence of people power in harsh regimes, popular culture's role in addressing the world's starving, the advances in science that promised the eradication of disease and poverty, etc.  Now it seems that the "old order" has reasserted itself and the most powerful governments of the world are once again committed to jingoistic warmongering activities that place us all at risk once more.  Unfortunately those human traits that are no longer required but have survived evolution to date (greed, fear, aggression) are still a driving force behind most, if not all of, world politics today.  Strangely enough, everyone knows deep down the correct path to take......just no-one has the guts.

The world has become more cynical, because everyone is giving up.  People just don't care anymore, and it's just easier to be negative and view everything as crap then to force a positive and find that silver lining around that very dark cloud.  Things are better than we think, but we've become lazy and don't have the energy to find out how.

-More liberal, morals will become exceedingily less.\n-I would say, yes new inventions, medicines and diseases are much, much less.\n-Maybe an unexpected country, like...Indonesia!\nThe world will be generally worse, crimes will be higher, but technology will be great. English will be a little less popular and maybe Indonesian or...Arabic language will be global! A third World War has already happened, and the world is going to experience a fourth one. US won't be rich anymore, and is not from the developed countries.

what i am not liking now is that people are becoming more and more numb to what is happening around us. We are losing our values so long as we go to the "popular" masses.\nwhat were tabooed before are now being accepted as the right thing. \nConsult your bible...nothing has changed!!!

This is a question that only God can answer.....we do not know, and we cannot predict the future....I expect it will get worse though, haven't people gotten greedier and more selfish with each generation?

Take a good look at the world.  100 years ago it was a completely different earth than the one we currently occupy.  Sex and violence have replaced morality, and it's only going to get worse over time.  If I had to live without faith that the earth would be restored and that justice would prevail in the end, I wouldn't want to wake up in the morning.  My faith keeps me going in the face of adversity, and that is enough for me.

Corruption seems to have become part of life EVERY WHERE! It is a shame that greed has taken root in sooo many.

There is plenty of trouble in the world.  However, I think there are alot more good things and good people than ever.  With modern conveniences, medicines, arts, we truly can look forward to a great tomorrow.  Sadly, bad news sells newspapers, magazines, and advertising on tv.  So we must learn to look for the positive and good in things and move away from the bad, ugly, and dark side of things... And not create more harm in trying to put all the blame on one person or culture.   Peace

I don't think the people will think it's better or worse than now.  But if one of us were to pop up all of a sudden 100 years from now we'd be in shock.  The change in the world due to technology in the past 100 years is incredible, but the advances that the knowledge we now have are going to enable for the future are going to make the world an entirely different place.  Hopefully it will get better because the alternative is probably destruction.
