In response to the OP. It think its due to people now a days only caring for them selves and no one else, on top of that the "herded sheep" mentality of people today who can not think for them selves and only fallow the masses. Im only 22 years old, I may not have lived that long to know a whole lot or to be wise enough to understand how the world really works, but it is very freighting to see people much older than me and who should be much wiser than me, not question things that they see or hear. It is very scary that no one thinks for them selves anymore, and even scarier that these traits are being passed on to the younger generations.
