    Oh yeah, there are Sumerian tablets about exactly this, someone around 4000-5000 years ago wrote:

    Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.
