Such a simple question that is honestly hard to answer for most I would imagine. At my current line of reasoning I would say that governments have less say in the lives of people, and thus the people have to be responsible for themselves -- and for as much as they wish, those around them. Once people 'get' to live, and for some 'have' to live, things will start to improve. I know this is a somewhat simplistic answer, but I think we often try to over-complicate matters and thus cause most of our own problems as well as problems for others that were never involved in the original event or condition that generated the previous complexity.
