We are living in a broken society. Everyone is complaining about the fact that no one is willing to take responsibility for what (s)he does, but at the same time, one that complains doesn't want to take responsibility. Employers want their employees to be responsible, but they don't want to be responsible to their employees.
It is hard to find a person who will say "Sorry, I have made a mistake and I'm willing to repair the damage caused". Such an honest person will be first to be fired, even though employers proclaim they want honesty. Everyone is looking for the justification so that they can blame others for mistakes they did, or so that they can complain endlessly. What employers don't understand is that taking responsibility doesn't only demand courage, but it also shows that the person has the following competencies: knowledge to improve, ability to correct a mistake, and behavior/attitude to make it happen. Instead of trying to make a company culture of it, employers mostly fire such a person.
So we teach others, particularly younger generations, that they can do whatever they want, but if they do make mistake, it is OK not to admit it, apologize, or try to make things right.
Thus we have the global crisis of values and competencies. The best example was the recession in 2008. The crisis of values has caused the economic crisis because it was "normal" to be immoral in business and immoral doings in the banking sector caused global financial shock. A person without morality and, more importantly, competencies to work a certain job can't do anything else when the problem occurs than to blame others and complain, creating a vicious circle.
Lack of competencies and morality is not a surprise in the culture where new morality is to lie in a job application or CV (as much I know from recruiters, more than 50% of people lie in it). And it is cool if you manage to cheat on your exam or get a job having zero competencies, but just being in right party, relationship, family to have a "right connection".
