I don't think humanity is on a downturn. Sociologically and culturally we're not feeding Christians to lions, and while Rwanda may have existed, it's different than the organized horror of the Holocaust. The current 'global generation' is seeing and learning at an exponential rate; much faster than my parents or grandparents generation. I think the greatest lesson that our country (and other countries) are learning is that peace, humanity and justice is something you work towards always. Passivity is a greater problem then indifference or hate. I think the next 20 years will be some of the most vibrant, culturally redefining years we've ever seen.
