Why are people not as simple as before?

Generally speaking, of course, people are becoming more snobbish, more realistic and more complicated, including us rural people. I think my cousin's inner doubts are actually "making a mountain out of a molehill". Because the society is changing, the pressure of life is increasing, people's thinking concepts are also changing, and it is normal for people's lifestyles and attitudes to change accordingly.

In the past, the rural customs were really rich and simple. At that time, in the eyes of the poor, there was heartfelt admiration and envy for the rich, but not much envy. Rich rural people are also heartfelt sympathy and pity for the poor, without much discrimination and contempt. In the countryside, people only look down on lazy people. Therefore, in the rural areas at that time, relatives and friends were usually visited on holidays, and the purpose would be very clear, that is, to contact feelings and exchange ideas. The feelings between people are really strong.

Now the simple local customs in rural areas are really weak, and there is not much walking between people. Even some relatives and friends who are still walking are more or less mixed with snobbery. So what makes the rural customs change, and the emotional connection between people is no longer so simple? I think, specifically, it is inseparable from the following factors:

1, the impact of foreign culture on rural traditional culture. With the further opening of our society, foreign culture inevitably permeates our society, which has a great influence on people's ideas and gradually transforms our society from a single society to a pluralistic one. With the increase of migrant workers in rural areas, these foreign cultures gradually penetrated into rural areas, which impacted the traditional rural culture and inevitably diluted the rural local customs.
