Arguably, there were different values in effect in the past.
There was more emphasis on values like: God-as-god. Country. Family. Courage. Integrity.
The newer values are more like: Money-as-god. Survival. Cats. Dopamine maxxing.
I may get downvoted for mentioning religion in the context of a question about values. But to bring data into it, it's reportedly a fact that "None" [0] as a dominant religious self-identity is indeed a newer/increased phenomenon. It would be hard to argue thats that's not a clear measure of shift in values.

What do cats do there? I am confused. It is not like they would be prevalent.
Also, the materialism was top ideology in America. It gave us prosperity gospel long time ago.
There is imagined history and real history. They are not the same.
What is real history? I would like to learn it. Not being snarky. Thank you.

By corporations?!? Because that is what we talking about.
Frankly, if we go back far enough we get all the way to slavery and genocide so rose-tinting your glasses about past values doesn't sway me.
