Not accepting the current state of things is a good way to improve things. Instead of comparing to the past, compare it to other regions. One commenter compared USA to Europe and said USA is significantly worse, irrespective of how things were loads of years ago.

Without being able to question the current state, improvements will be limited or none. The other side of this is that without seeing things in perspective we might not appreciate the huge improvements that went into it. And we might even lament for "first world problems" making mountains out of molehills, or take everything for granted...
