Aside from advancements in technology and race relations, what exactly do you find better from a societal standpoint from 30-40 years ago?
Is it teen pregnancy? Underage drinking, or drug abuse? Divorce rate? Are those better or worse?

Teen pregnancy is down

The divorce rate is also down

Marijuana use is (predictably) up. Abuse of prescription drugs (since they've become an insane industry since 1980) is also up, but that's not something you can really point to discipline for. Most other drug use has not changed as a trend.
