"Soon we will become a nation of plastic, youthful, fatuous followers."
it is called 'hellenism' at its best.
You are right.
Hellenism: Definition
Hellenism's greatest contribution lies in its accentuation of personality.
Women had an important dignity and status to fufill an ambition for professional or business careers, even far from the native town, in one of the metropolitan centers. By the side of great leaders or alone we see women who, through intrigue, crime, flirtation, and keenness of mind, gain immense political influence and power.
Religiously, Hellenism was marked by freedom and tolerance towards all persons and races.
Philosophy in Hellenistic Greece had lost much of its former originality and vigor: it was less creative reflection than evaluation; less thought than literature.
Interchange of populations resulted not only to the interchange of ideas and beliefs, but of habits and customs and manners, as well. Corruption, indolence, sensual life and idleness were exchanged for the old industrious and virtuous way of life. Marriage was devaluated, divorces were increased and almost every vice was unrestrained: immorality, pederasty, infanticide avarice, cruelty, suicide, indecency in public places, etc.
