This article articulates what I was trying to get at.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/ar...ial-value.html

It's about moral decay...

"What has been fuelling all this is not poverty, as has so predictably been claimed, but moral collapse. What we have been experiencing is a complete breakdown of civilised behaviour among children and young people straight out of William Golding’s seminal novel about childhood savagery, Lord Of The Flies."

The article gets into the breakdown of the family, feminism, education, multi-culturalism, welfare/entitlement culture etc.
