“where was the moral sense of responsbiity”
I have watched the changing of the morals for many years. So many things have become not only acceptable, but encouraged. Having children out of wedlock was a practice until the first marriage contract about 2500 years before Christ. In the old west, if you stole cattle, the posse found you and hung you. No problem.
I believe the first of the major changing happened right after the first depression years for our current society when they learned that it takes more than a pretty face to get food and housing. And then the major attack against morals happened in the mid 1050’s by Madeline O’hare who was instrumental in taking prayer out of schools and started the domino effect of schools taking the responsibility of sculpturing students until something went wrong and them it was the parent’s fault.
True morals are dying off with the passing of those that came in before Woodstock, the wars we shouldn’t have got into, the destructive dismantling (and politicalizing) of religion, and the legalizing of harming your neighbor because someone came up with a way to make it sound legal or make the punishment minute and not threatening enough if at all. Start somewhere and see where it takes you. The rode is long even though it is right in front of us.

I think the prayer in school thing did not have a great impact until the 1960s “cultural revolution”, then its impact was felt in the lack of daily counter to that, and the fact that the media had already by indoctrinated though their college education to align itself with “protests” as if merely to protest made your protest morally correct.
The “culutural recvlution” was made to order for getting “the youth” behind the totally Left inspired and run “antiwar” movement - I saw this even in the Christian ministries whose schools of theology had already trained the 1960s clerical class in the Leftist bending of the Gospel message.
The rest in a good part of Christendom was down hill from then on, other than the the more fundamentalist churches and demominations rejection of all that. The great divide between “church goers” and continued Gospel believers had begun, as the Book of Revelation said it would.
