So, what exactly is being “mean”? I think the core points to realize are as follows:
-
“Being mean” is defined primarily as an interaction between people. Objects on their own can’t be “mean” unless they closely model similar behavior originally observed from humans.
-
What makes a person mean is the emotional reaction evoked in the respondant. That is, the actions of the person being observed are perceived by the respondant with the emotional feeling that such actions are being “mean.” Therefore, this assertion can vary from person to person, culture to culture.
So, what does Wikipedia have to say about people being “mean”? Well, basically the same thing, but with historical accounts too.

What else does the Internet have anything to say about that? I couldn’t find really anything from a search, though I have for sure seen evidence out there and wrote it down in my previous notes.
Failed search.

Well, anyways. The United States overall has had quite an interesting economic history, with actually quite a bit of prosperity for quite some time. Overall, that’s the big picture. Now, yes, there are those times with the economic recessions.
