Good one. It's always been at play and always will be. I think it's part of the maturation process.
But a couple of those were right on the money. Particularly, "Young people are high-minded because they've yet to be humbled by life. They think they know everything and are always quite sure about it." Again, I think that's part of "growing up." It's expected and not always a bad thing. It can drive progress in some areas.
But the biggest general change that I've seen, by far, is selfishness, expectations and blame fueled by the internet. And that's often in concert with parents not effectively parenting. That's a general statement. Doesn't apply to all. But it does apply to many. At least in the U.S.

It's been this way throughout history. Caesar gave some scathing speeches about the state of the youth in his time.
