Well, first off, I think you're talking about many things here.
in terms of higher calling, what kind of higher calling did people in the 60's have? They finished high school (maybe), got a unionized job, and continue to work at it now until retirement. Higher calling is a very vague term. Should the younger generation go out and save the whales? Stop genocide? Save the cheerleader?
As for conformity, what's so great about conformity? Some of the greatest minds of all time were ill fitting. If we all conformed, we'd think the earth was still flat.
I don't think people nowadays hate as much as you are claiming, but a general complacency seems to be growing among todays youth. Every internet argument between teens degenerates into calling the other person a homosexual. Even the word gay has somehow become synonymous with stupid among many young people.
There are a number of people in the world that I don't like, and I know there are plenty of people who don't like me. Other people like me, and other people like the people i don't like, so i'd say it's safe to say that all of us aren't so bad. Unfortunately, many people do get off on the wrong foot.
