One characteristic of modern times is vulgarity, the opposite of grace. "Grace", in fact, is defined as 'simple elegance or refinement'. "Vulgar" is defined as 'lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined', and also 'making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude'. We can certainly say that many of the things we see and hear nowadays can be called vulgar. You hear coarse words currently used in movies, songs, simple conversations among friends. You hear comedians utter crass jokes which seem highly appreciated by their audiences. You are shown crude scenes in films and tasteless clothes worn by celebrities and, consequently, by 'normal' people. The "selfie culture" has created a new, graceless race of human beings. And you must learn to live with it.
