A thoughtful and engaging post @trafalgar. I agree with @baah that this is symptomatic of the dumbing down process that has been going on for years. Here in the UK the majority of children and young adults that go through the state education system seem unable to think for themselves. They are spoon fed everything, not allowed to fail (no life lessons there then!) and sent out into the world expecting things to come their way without effort. The whole system needs a complete overhaul.

Yeah I don't know if our entire educational system should be dumbed down to that children's card game where everyone's a winner. It simultaneously fosters ignorance and a sense of unjustified entitlement to not having one's feelings hurt. This can be very problematic down the road.
