And still, there is society. Originally, there wasn't. And even with the White Fang, Cinder, Roman, and low level baddies like Junior, Glynda still says that the world's in a time of peace. It's likely that things used to be much, much worse. The current state of Remnant probably is it's ordered state. Of course, as these stories usually go, the period of peace has essentially lead to complacency and a lack of concern about the monsters at the gates. Yet the imminent resurgence of the one true enemy is perceived by certain members of the vanguard (likely Ozpin in this case) who are actively working to protect against it. Usually the appearance or emboldening of the great evil exposes widespread incompetence and ineffectual response from the established order. Thus the hero or heroes are required to step in for those who are otherwise unprepared.
