The celebrated historian Barbara Tuchman called our times, "The Age of Disruption, a period when we've lost belief in certain kinds of moral understanding of good and bad."
A reporter for The Indianapolis Star once asked the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner what she thought was most needed in the next century.
"Probably personal responsibility," she replied, explaining that this means "taking responsibility for your behaviour and your expenditures and your actions, and not forever supposing that society must forgive you because it's not your fault."
