The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement or
God out of government and school.

I don't know where you got this list, but it certainly has not been my experience with the younger generation, our own kids nor their friends. The last five on the list, especially. And they weren't the ones who took nativity out of the cities. It was our generation who did that.
Some of their music is different. A lot of their music appreciation is from classical on up. Are you talking about people whose parents didn't give a rip about raising/educating them? Because I don't know where this list is coming from, nor do I see it in most younger generations that I'm in contact with.
My kids are politer and more considerate and less entitled than a lot of us old fogies I come in contact with.
What a broad brush that list paints with.
