Your post touches a host of concerns and issues and emotional attitudes that lead to socially disruptive behavior, that I think all sprout from the absence of a shared set of premises in society at large - a set of premises that will automatically induce in every individual a respectful attitude and a trend in behavior that is conducive to harmonious co-existence and a synergy toward enhancing quality of life in general.

If only everyone could be taught that life is what one makes of it, and that life is about life being a fulfilling experience, even in poor circumstances, which is a condition that can best be achieved in peace; that harmony builds quality of life and conflict destroys - and that the best investment that anyone can make is in working toward the happiness of those you have to deal with in life.
