I don't believe it is dead. I think it is still alive and well. The problem is the minority of assholes taint the good people. Plus, when people are hurting economically and in a society where it seems business comes before the people, it taints people's views of what good there is and they are worried about what may happen, they are scared that someone may take advantage of them, the press advertises more depressing and pessimistic views than giving hope and focusing on what good does exist, and so on. But it is there, just have to open up and see it.
