That is the major difference between the post war period I grew up in, 
and today, in terms of world-view and psychology.

We understood the world to be a dangerous place, and food and personal 
hygiene were stressed, not antibiotics and socialised medicine. Also 
staying alert and being observant and quick thinking were typical 'boy 
scout' lessons.

Road furniture was designed to raise situational awareness, not to 
dictate driving behaviour.

We were warned not to accept sweets or rides  from strange men, (or 
women).

And so on.
