yes, I think it would be more appropriate to ask, "Where did common decency go?" Lack of respect can be found from one end of the age spectrum to the other... it's the saddening nature of the world we live in... I believe it's population... when the population of a certain area arises to where people don't know each other, there is no positive incentive to be considerate. If you live in a small town and everyone knows one another it would be different. There is just no reason to be nice to the person next to you when you live in a large city as you will most likely never see them again...(I sure am sick of McDonalds trash being thrown into our yard when people drive by, or shouted at by idiots in huge, jacked up Ford trucks as they pass by our house). I live in a big city and yet I make sure to give a "hey there" or "evening" to people I pass when I go for a walk or bike ride... sometimes I'll get a cheery response from him/ her that gives me just a little more hope for our world...
