Humanity? This isn't happening in every country. The west is not all of humanity.

Fantastic point. Though, we're not doing either really, are we? We're kind of just letting the issues fester and pointing fingers at each other.
I should do more to help...
The numbers don't lie - scandinavian countries are happier and healthier.
It's not all human civilization. I'm in Japan right now and it's not happening like that here. Don't misunderstand, things aren't perfect here, there's other issues, but the kids are mostly alright.
And even in Canada it's not everybody with these issues, it's mostly the anglos. Lots of non english private schools that don't have these issues for various reasons - banned cellphones, stricter rules, stricter parents, etc.
My friends in China tell me the kids there also don't have these issues. Again, other issues, but not these.
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. Can you elaborate for me?
