Different research methods have found that individualism is on the rise in American culture, with younger generations reporting less empathy and more self-focus than generations before. Although this narcissism is often pinned on millennials alone in the popular press, research going back to the early 1900s suggests that these forces have been in play for at least a century.

That’s rich when it’s older generations that voted overwhelmingly for Trump and hate anyone who isn’t them. But young people have problems with empathy?
