I think the social culture has both backslash and improvement.

Take the sharing of motto in primary school as an example. In the past, people (including me) wrote things that merely hope to give others a learned and polite impression. We wrote to each other lines of motto that sounds academic to show that we are educated.

We missed simple but important things, i.e. our feelings. We wrote quotations that we have little feeling. Little passion was shown in the lines of "motto". As primary students, we were rush to teach other to prove we knew something. We are protective and subtle in the old days. I regret not receiving or writing sentences like "You are friendly and pretty. Thanks for being kind to me. I will miss you." and neither did most of my classmates.
I do not prefer quotation.

It was the culture several decades ago. I think the culture has been improved a bit. People in certain ways are more sophisticated than before and feel more free to express their feelings. The backslash is many people ignore politeness and courtesy. Respect becomes out of fashion, a lost art. I miss the days when respecting people is in fashion. On the other hand, to be more considerate and caring, not just hope to give people good impression, may be a true improvement of social culture.
