The first part is great; the second part is irritating.
Anyways, I disagree. In fact in my own experiences, we've been becoming less apathetic. Personally, I care much more about the people around me and myself then I did three months ago, even. Although to be fair, that's about when I joined Reborn and this place might be making me go insane as evident by the complete emotional turmoil I'm going through for absolutely zero reason. But I digress. While it's a longer period of time, look at, at least the USA's foreign policy. In the early 1800's, it was to stay out of everyone's business. Now today, the majority of the USA wants for the country to get involved in foreign affairs.
