By way of a symptom of the current collapse:

Plagiarism.

I have many students each semester who find nothing odd in the notion of printing up a random paper from this here internet and turning it it under their own undistinguished name.  When confronted, many of them claim that this strikes them as nothing bad or unusual. Some faculty will even occasionally make the "culture defense", which runs like this: in some cultures, collaborative work is stressed, and individual work is disvalued, so this is a source of confusion for students originating from such cultures.

This is ludicrous on two grounds:

Ground the First:

No culture values stupidity, with the possible exception of this one.  If you can't understand a simple imperative like: write a paper - which prima facie suggests work and effort - you deserve the life of servility toward which your current trajectory is pointed.

Ground the Second:

If that's really how your culture works, then your culture is shit, and will eventually be killed and eaten by better, smarter cultures.  I know that's not how you see it in your culture, but in my culture, it's okay to say things like "Your culture sucks."  Or, as a wise man once said:  "Fuck your culture, and get back to work."
