No, in today's society, we hear of fights over turf, being "Dissed," or some other direct and personal offense, and these conflicts are frequently punished lightly, even overlooked in the name of tolerance, excusing the anti-social behavior by blaming "Root causes" instead of the perpetrator.
People who once would've punched someone in the face for bad behavior no longer do so, fearing the full wrath of our litigation-driven society, knowing that such an act will be punished by "Zero tolerance" tick-box bureaucrats who have spent decades devising formulas for controlling human conduct and thought.
We are seeing the results today: a society where the only option for restraining the troublemaker is a call to the police, who themselves are restrained by a hyper-vigilant bureaucracy devoted to adherence to its formulas over the more appropriate response from a police officer, which oftentimes is "Try that again, and your ass is mine!".
We can more quickly address the problems of our society by replacing the present bureaucratic, formulaic mindset with a more proactive, protective mindset, insisting that our schools, government, and judicial system again respect the concept of "He had it coming."
It will take some time, but we can again return to a time when society was far more polite and respectful because being an a-hole had immediate, painful consequences.
Since the Parkland, Florida school shooting, many commentators have laid blame on the diminished state of morality in today's society, and there can be no doubt as to the corrosive effect on people of depictions of violence, hyper-sexuality, and immorality in popular culture.
Through the strident calls for more restrictive gun control laws and the wise recognition that it is evil we fight - not the tool evil employs - I believe we have been talking past the most obvious root of school shootings and violence in society overall.
