Modernity, what are the main disadvantages as we move forward?

Disadvantages of modernity: Until recently, I confused modernity with contemporary.  Contemporary is right now or recent.  Modern is everything since the Middle Ages.  Modernity started about the time Martin Luther nailed his post to the church door.  Modernity has resulted in changes in family values, social values, sexual morality, and a whole host of more.  The many changes did not take place the minute Martin Luther sunk his nail.  Some of them had already started.  Others are more recent.  Some are on-going, perhaps in all times, certailny in modern times.

The atomic family of modernity has benefited industry.  Small families without ties can move from where the jobs are drying up to where the jobs are being created.  The old traditional family with grandparents and great-grandparents, and unmarried aunts and cousins, could not easily move.  Industrialization has permitted many more people to exist within the same space (Earth).  Now-a-days we put Grandma in a nursing home and sedate her with drugs, and move on.

The contemporary college education typically teaches that if a value or idea or tradition cannot be subjected to experimentation and verification by the scientific method, then it should be dismissed.  That was the attitude that I left college with, but as I have gotten older, I realize that there are traditions (and formerly there were many more) that have withstood the test of time running for many, even hundreds, of generations.  What has been distilled from the experience of hundreds of generations should not be dismissed because it cannot be submitted to scientific test.

As a previous answer points out, people in traditional times acted much more according to what their community deemed proper; now-a-days, people are very individualistic.  A result of this and of our mobility is more crime, I believe, less strength as a nation, and I am not talking about armed might, I am talking about the strength of character that produces happiness and protects it for family and community and nation.  People who do not have strong family ties, do not, cannot, form strong ties to their community or nation, and cannot be depended upon to defend them.  Greece declined when too much individuality compromised the family and society.  Ditto for Rome.  America is following in their footsteps.

I have said enough to get your brain working.
