Or is this apathy a result of the acceptance of youthful impatience as the standard for getting things done? It seems that businesses in this day are only focused on the bottom line and have completely lost sight of other important factors like building trust with their customer base. My opinion is that America, Europe and the nations that are becoming more industrialized are leaning more and more toward an unorderly, "git-er-done," lifestyle that leaves no room for strategic thinking and no thought for the future. That's fabulous for business owners who can survive such a Darwinian environment, but it unfortunately trickles into every aspect of culture, like connecting the dots in organizations responsible for our welfare. But that excuse feels like such a smoke screen, it is hard to tell what the truth really is, were there political motivations involved? It's a possibility.

That’s fabulous for business owners who can survive such a Darwinian environment, but it unfortunately trickles into every aspect of culture, like connecting the dots in organizations responsible for our welfare. But that excuse feels like such a smoke screen, it is hard to tell what the truth really is, were there political motivations involved? It’s a possibility.
