The world has seen much bleaker times (the black plauge ect.) Don't be so cynical. Things go in cycles and right now, there's alot of social, political and religious termoil. 

Well this cycle doesn't seem like it's going to end. Racial profiling is at an alltime high in North America, the POTUS is getting away with corruption, more and more idiots are popping up to denounce science and even say the Earth is flat (despite EVIDENCE), Robin Williams is no longer with us, Muslims as a whole are constantly marked for death because of a few bad eggs, airports and air travel are pretty much death traps, and you can't even visit East Asia without risk of being hit by one of fatso's missiles, which he can very likely fire at anyone any time now.

Most of what you're worrying about has always been here in one form or another. The difference is really in how the entire world is all connected via the internet and how the 24/7 news cycles keep pumping the shit into everyone's head. 

My advice would be to just put a self-imposed black out on the news. It's not easy, but it's a good idea. I did that for a few years and it was really refreshing. I found out just how much all of this junk really affected my day when it was removed.
