Government is not supposed to prescribe morality, and so when government attempts to get people to improve their behavior it tends to do so by the use of rather ineffective, bland, and non-specific means - or (worse) by playing around with the tax code to punish what it doesn't like and reward what it does like.
Teaching responsibility is entirely possible, but it cannot be done through government policies, or by the use of policy wonks, think tanks, or other secular organizations. The teaching of responsibility must be done in the home, in churches, in families, and in one on one interactions that occur in the heart and the mind. In short, they are not 'things' that can be grasped, studied, and implemented by cold, heartless government platforms. Government can't do it. Not in a million years. Neither can amoral Progressive philosophies or bland but toothless appeals to 'fairness', 'multiculturalism' or 'political correctness'.
Like garlic to a vampire - the only way that society can REALLY combat this Culture Rot that is destroying the family is to turn to a moral philosophy that prescribes a 'right' and 'wrong' way to do things. The exact source that society has been bad-mouthing and undermining since the 60s.
