A bronze mean

Aristotle's Golden Mean is the desirable middle between two extremes. The only problem with this Golden Mean is that our societies extremes are now morphing at an alarming rate. It seems like every decade there is more corrupt people in an increasingly disturbing world. But why is our world continuing to appear to be more dangerous? Is it an increase in violent video games and music? Porn everywhere on the Internet? I'm sure I'll never understand why our world is evolving in the way that it is but I do know that its a crazy world. Where is the new middle ground? Look at the now 79 person death toll in the soccer game in Egypt, or the captain that left his cruise ship as it was sinking. What happen to the days that the captain went down with the ship (Titanic) or World Cups where nations at war can come and play soccer game on the field and leave everything there on that field? Is this our new middle ground? People not taking responsibility for their actions? In a world like ours this Golden Mean seems to be nonexistence in many circumstances.
