It looks to me we have had a culture that glorifies rule-breakers and romanticizes anti-social behavior for decades and perhaps centuries - from the 18th century Romantics to today's hyper-commercialized media-hyped bad boys and girls of popular culture. We have ever more powerful and persuasive technological means of dispersing these archetypes that are destructive of self and society. We have populations ever more susceptible to the alluring impact of these messages.
Since you pretty much have to break social and societal rules to be considered cool, I'm surprised there still remains any civility at all.
