1. "pussification" - I think it means that like its cousin "political correctness", people are too afraid or want to spare feelings and coddle too much. For example: lowering standards so that more people can go to college (just a vague generalization for concept mind you) or having everyone be a winner in a game. Something like that.
So maybe this "culture of pussification" (sorry to keep using that word) is condtioning people to overlook personal responsibility and accountability.

My thoughts exactly. My parents are both hirers/firers at their respective workplaces (Mom is a nurse manager, Dad is a controller). My mother told me about this woman who had been fired because of extremely poor attendance in a field where workers are extremely hard to find. The woman filed a lawsuit against the hospital and got her job back. She had the same problem the second time around, and my mom only got to fire her again after going through an extremely long process. So even though this woman has a degree in nursing, she isn't worth shit as a worker, and the law is protecting her because she doesn't show up to work.
