This partially true as an overall trend, but is thankfully, not yet a universal fact. The "flattening" effects of globalization bring diabetes, divorce, and time and distance between relatives. 80's Eddie Murphy ridiculous bits notwithstanding, places like Rwanda are still socially conservative and fairly traditional. Certain Catholic-heavy countries and small island nations also tend to be very traditional. I don't mean "backwards" in ways like the Taliban, but have greater social cohesion, a sense that other people matter, and neighborliness.
