I blame it all on 'situational ethics' and people not agreeing with a single idea of ONE 'right/wrong' for everyone. (meaning arguing about 'what's right for you isn't right for me' crap)

When people (children especially) are taught to question elders/authority figures,
allowed to mouth off/hit/bite/kick people in charge (including their own parents),
all kids are picked for the team,
all kids are given an award regardless of perfomance,
all kids are allowed to play regardless of how well they do it,
put all the blame on others,
let the tv or computer do the baby sitting instead of taking time to spend with the child,
letting the teacher at school try to teach the child everything, rather than take the time to teach morals, ethics, respect, and social niceties,
little Johnny or Jenny can do no wrong,
and not allowed to suffer the consequences of their own actions (meaning the parents always intervene on behalf of the child denying their child was at fault);

then this is the kind of generation you get.

You reap what you sow.
