	America's new role models: In disintegrating civilizations, the creative minority (elites) are no longer confident and setting the example. They "lapse into truancy" (reject the obligations of citizenship) and "surrender to a sense of promiscuity" (succumb to vulgarization of manners, the arts and language). The groups we used to call "low-class" or "trash" started being called the underclass a few decades ago. The upper class, instead of challenging trashy behavior, often imitates and placates it.
