================ Yes.
The problem is that even if the new environments are not dangerous, they are different, and thus threatening.
It is precisely these continual, accelerating, and apparently random changes, which are causing increasing feelings of alienation and isolation in increasing numbers of adults. In many cases this is perceived as an unfocused rage and/or feeling of impending disaster.
Note that it is simply change, even change for the better, that causes this, and it is the height of folly for our leadership to ignore the limits on the amounts of change that can be imposed, without serious breakdowns in civil and social order.
INMSHO it is not coincidence that the number of mass murders and workplace shootings almost exactly parallel the increased amount and speed of social and workplace change beginning in the early
1960s.From a personal mental health standpoint I suggest that individuals limit change in their lives as much as possible, to avoid any more stress than necessary, however as you note it is becoming increasingly difficult to do this when you can't even find a clerk that speaks English or can make change in US dollars.
