I like to work with the "Sub for Santa" program. I used to do it a lot when I lived near the big city. I always made sure our store had a great toy and clothes drive for the needy at Christmas time. I also tried to go out with the folks delivering the stuff to the families. There were a lot of "gently used" coats, boots, etc. that were handed out. A lot of the stuff a good portion of today's youth wouldn't wear because it's "used."
I think we treat our country in similar fashion. What we sometimes criticize as being used or worn is the greatest gift that most immigrants could have. It's a step up from where they were and full of new opportunities.
I agree with your main point, but I don't think that "today's youth" is any more unappreciative than their parents were. In every generation there are those who appreciate what they've got and those that take it for granted.
