D&C 34

As the Lord instructs Orson Pratt to "lift up you voice as with the sound of a trump...and cry repentance", he describes the world as -

"...a crooked and perverse generation..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 34:6)

...suggesting to me that the world is knowingly and willingly breaking the commandments for personal gain, satisfaction, pleasure, etc.  In addition, the world will pervert true principles and commandments for power in the name of fairness.
