We don't have peace and we don't have order. In developed countries such as Japan and Singapore, what is immediately noticeable is how orderly their society is. Pedestrians are confined to sidewalks and pedestrian crossing. Parked vehicles are in designated parking areas. Moving vehicles are in their proper lanes.
Here, vehicles are parked right under sign that says "Strictly No Parking," on sidewalks, etc. Pedestrians cross anywhere. Slow vehicles drive on fast lanes. Etc.
All of these boil down to lack of discipline (disrespect of the law) and lack of conscientiousness (utter disregard of the rights and interests of others).
