Except that the NSA's involvement in industrial espionage was revealed in the 90s and 00s. We are not talking about the prevailing attitude three generations ago, we are talking about the current generation.
- coldtea 13y agoWell, that was a historical example of something that completely changed over a few decades. You wan't fewer? Compared attitudes to seggregation in the 60s and 70s.
- betterunix 13y agoI do not think you can say that the general attitude about segregation had changed significantly until at least the 80s, when people who had grown up without segregation had entered adulthood. Even with that change, there are still lingering pockets of segregation now, in 2014 -- two generations after Brown v. Board of Education. I doubt that assumptions or attitudes can be changed within a single generation.
