Well to figure this out lets look at what has changed in the last 50 years, from when middle class america was preceived as much more docile (ignoring the south and other extreme examples)
People were more religious then.
Families consisted of a working parent, a stay at home parent.
Society wasn't so preoccupied on safety.
People went outside instead of watching the television/internet.
People weren't raised on the philosophy of "you are special"
Basically people today don't really believe in anything, are overprotected from any actual danger, and sit on their asses all day.
Go outside, play some frisbee. Things will be better!
