Ok, I'll give my opinion as the point of view of an expectant mother.
I think children nowadays have a lack of empathy overall. I think that our society is full of selfish, detached children who crave nothing but instant gratification. This is the fault of the parents and society as a whole. When parents are constantly covering for their kids and defending their worst behavior, the only lesson taught is that there is always a way out of everything. I don't think "beating their azz" would help. It just makes kids mistrust their parent. They'll just hide whatever they got beat for and do a better job of it next time. Parents don't seem to talk to their children anymore. Life lessons, morality, right and wrong can't be learned from tv or school. They have to be taught at home as well. I don't think just making sure your kids are fed, dressed and in school is enought parenting, and that is how most kids are being raised.
Do I make sense?
