I'm wondering if the "couldn't care less" attitude of a portion of society is that the old fashioned tightly knit family unit is a thing of the past.
It must be quite rare these days for couples with children to live in their childhood neighbourhood, as most have had to move away to find work. Then a few decades ago we had one cabinet MP more or less sneering at young adults who lived with their parents and the end result was that it was the new "norm" not to help parents with mortgages/rent but to strike out on their own and hand over money to the new millionaire landlords.
With the onset of technology we now have youngsters of every age with their own mobile phones, i-pads, TV sets, computer games, etc. Conversation at home is made with adolescent grunts and conversations with pals is via "shorthand" text.
With all this modern disconnect - there's no wonder a segment of society think they don't have to take responsibility for their actions and their actions have no consequences for other people.
