We have been in this slow decline for quite some time. It isn't just the hat, it is manners proper etiquette and civility, being polite all around, table manners, holding the door for a lady, etc. But it goes both ways, women aren't the same either.
I personally began to notice it about eighteen years ago while trying to teach my daughters manners. Not too many years back I took heat from many of the same people posting on this thread. I don't recall exactly the thread, but I posted about teaching my daughters proper table manners the need. I got answers like does it matter, bigger issues in the world, etc.
Sadly, yes, I think there was an unwritten memo sent around. I saw it and we can see in the school system where a lot of the problems take place. Teachers are no longer referred to as Mr. or Mrs. Jones it is Ms. Kim or Mr. Bob, test scores are rounded down to bring those failing on par with those doing better.
Society in general isn't being round up made better it is being rounded down. Bad behavior, criminal behavior is being accepted. The thug life is not only acceptable it is welcomed and promoted.
