This mentality is cultivated in our public schools where everyone's a winner, the stupidest are put forward as exemplary, you get strokes for being the right sex and/or color, and narcissism is the ruling ethos.
It is made worse by the envy generated by consumer culture, which creates the mindset "I deserve that" instead of "how can I earn that?"
