Ofcourse, I don’t know if this answers your question at all, but more has become acceptable today. It’s easier and more “comfortable” to do wrong when everyone else is doing it.
Think of even the tznius that the Jews and nonjews abided by 20 years ago (even by the beach), and how we lost that now.
One more point to ponder, hurting others might not only have to do with selfishness, but also the decrease in the value of a human life.
