Because the WW2 era of thinking it over. And that means chain of command. You listened to police. You listened to teachers. You listened to your boss. You listened to your parents. No questions asked. If you broke the order you got in trouble.
Today, it's more of a "why do I have to do this?" line of thinking. You are a drunkard causing a disturbance in a public place? It's ok, police can't touch you unless you attack them or another person or property, if the police taser you or tackles you, you have civil rights groups waiting to attack the police on your behalf. Teachers can't touch you, if they do they lose their job. You are a "special needs" child, enjoy your attention. You can't be fired unless you display gross incompetence or break the law (theft) if you are a minority or woman, you have people willing to fight for your more-then-equal-rights, regardless of if you deserved to be fired or not. Parents can't touch you anymore. Spanking a child is child abuse, punish them too much and you are an unfit parent.
Western Society has gone soft. And this won't change any time soon because no one wants to make changes, we signed our own death warrant when we let bleeding hearts and minorities run the country.
Have a Merry Christmas...
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I meant Happy Holidays.

Maybe all the traditional 'tough-exterior' act was just a facade or veil for the lack of any meaningful culture underneath.
Only recently in the information age can the crumbling of your society be seen through something else than the gilded pompous binoculars that your ancient imperialistic elite tried to force upon the world. (Even though the modern media does exaggerate, dont deny that people didnt try to exaggerate [or distort] news even more in the past.)
Ancient empires will always fall, yet us Americans and even those English still havent learnt the lessons of the past.
You reap what you sow.
