It peaked in the 70's and 80's. I believe the early 80s was as good as it got before it started the downward trend.

How can i explain it. It's difficult to explain to someone. Firstly there was no internet, so people had to talk or use the telephone. Families got together and gatherings, people went to church. There was cable but it didn't really start to take off for wide adoption until the 80s.

Ghost stories scared you. Kids went out and played, they went to scouts, went camping.. they weren't balls of lard like so many are now.. a few were, but it was really rare. Kidnappers were a thing in the back of your mind, but kids were safe, and taught sound morals. People were generally civil. aside from drinking and smoking (which was pretty common), hardly anyone did drugs.

There was a lot of a sense of 'we're free to live great as we want' but there was always a bit of background noise like..

I wasn't awake back then but i could tell the sense was 'there's still something wrong.. it's good but not perfect, though it's good enough for now so lets enjoy it'.

Movies were really enjoyable, one memorable one with the family was Disney's Flight of the Navigator (Disney was one of the best studios then too). When i think about it a lot of vectors really started combining together towards the late 80s and into the 90s that led to the absolute BS we have now.. in the late 80's and early 90s things were becoming shit. Too focused on money, power, fame, lies (eg: there is no god!), self (less on community).

When the internet came along i broke off into it and took 5-10 years to figure out what that whole 'there's something wrong' thing was. I woke up around the mid 90s, because of all the access to information, and the ease at communicating with 1000's of people at once, to get their takes and a better picture.

Anyway im sure i could think of more things later on but that's a rough summary of my thoughts right now.
