Have you noticed the psychology of some more elderly adults believing that there is something "wrong" with the younger generation - because the more elderly generation don't "get" the younger generations fascination with the 'modern gadgets'.

In generally, developmental psychology shows how people's minds & behaviours, for example, their learning & what they learn, political ideologies, Belief's, habits, etc, form in the earlier years of their lives.

Therefore, human civilisations tend to change, more, by the birth death cycle. Rather than individuals changing their behaviours (& beliefs, politics, etc).

Will the up and coming generation, that has been exposed to more environmental information, be the generation that listens to the 'science' to develop an ecological sustainable culture? The pace of change, to adapt, to mitigate climate change, is currently too slow.

Old habits can be adopted or die out. The habits associated with ecological degradation will, inevitability, in time, die out.
