I dont think it has anything to do with smacking/corporal punishment and more to do with numerous social factors, ie/ emergence of youth culture, more freedom for young people, Divorce/separation of parents, a lack of consequences for bad behaviour, a materialistic society... I dont think you need to resort to smacking to instill discipline.
