I think the word etiquette applies. Today people believe:
If it's not illlegal then I can do it,
if it is illegal, I can do it if I don't get caught,
if I do get caught I can deny it,
if I get punished someone will feel sorry me and let me off the hook.
No one ever asks, should I do this, or how would I feel if someone did it to me?
That's civility and etiquette, you can't legislate it, parents and society has to teach it.
