The value of shame in society has lost some of its negative feelings as the governments and others will do what they can to help those that find themselves homeless or out of work to beg on the streets. Giving handouts to those that can not help society grow and become stronger has allowed the shame of getting help for nothing seem less shameful. I think that has helped raised a part of society that lives off the welfare of others and they feel no shame about getting things for free and without earning them. We now have a lot of people who not only expect this but demand it now, shame is gone.
