uncivility
This term describes a breach of social etiquette or a failure to maintain the expected standards of politeness. It often carries a tone of disappointment or shock, suggesting that the behavior deviates from a presumed norm of courtesy. While rudeness is a general term, uncivility specifically implies a lack of the "civility" required for a functioning, respectful society.
In a broader sociological sense, the word describes a systemic breakdown of order and mutual respect. It shifts from describing an individual's bad mood to describing a collective atmosphere of hostility or chaos, where the basic rules of civilized interaction are ignored or discarded.
