Yeah, no argument from me on the over protectivity thing.
But who & what do we hang this on?
24 hour media cycle?
a series of "limited" wars, probably encouraged, if not arranged, in order to avoid major conflicts that are bad for business, not to mention the social management benefits of these "little wars"?
a generally softer society --- at least in developed countries?
Probably best not to get started on the wrap-in-cotton-wool mentality.
