But morals were taught for the betterment of the group as a whole. That is why it must be learned. We over me

This is true in theory, and yes morals are taught & molded all the way through adulthood. Honestly they are a work in progress. Just because we as humans are faulted. We are weak, and we have free will. With that makes us bend and compromise our morals to fit our needs. Some people use it for good, some for bad.

I don’t steal from my neighbor because it hurts all of us. And if I know of someone stealing I want him separated because it hurts all of us.

Hurts the person or persons he's stealing from. If he's not stealing from me, it doesn't hurt or affect me. My neighbor being upset and affected allows me to have sympathy for them, and I feel for them, but overall, it doesn't affect my life. So in essence it doesn't "hurt" all of us. But I get your point.

Now it is, frick that. It’s about me and mine and I don’t care about anyone else. There is no attempt at worrying about the greater good.

This is just society now. It's trickled down from the elites finally. With the technology we have now, were everything is instant, gratification for all. It's just how it's going to be. Hopefully something comes along and shifts society away from the individual bubble everyone is in. But's its going to have to be an asteroid level event to shift society. Elites have been doing what's best for them, their wallet, and their own needs for centuries. Now the general public is like that. Mainly young, careless, and immature people. You have to scratch and claw to survive these days, and if you don't bust your arse, you will starve.

And I don’t want to snitch because I was taught it was bad so the people doing bad stuff wouldn’t get caught. And I don’t care about laws, it’s about whatever you can get away with.

Again, this is human nature. Not society. But their is a social aspect to this since certain groups value this type of activity over most other things. Especially the ability to breath. If groups of people threaten your ability to do that, you are going to sew your lips shut and look the other way. Or leave for a different place. Which is always an option, but not a safe or possible solution financially for a lot of people.
