This type of survey is incomplete without looking at the state of our society today as opposed to say, the middle of the last century when (it seemed) people were more values-focused and an out of wedlock pregnancy was frowned upon and divorce was an intensely private matter.
I was born in the late 50’s and grew up on what was certainly better television programs - the kind that reflected the better values and morals that we see a lack of today. While things may not have been simpler back then, families were certainly more united.
Are single parent families really as good as two parent families when it comes to instilling proper core values?
Finally - a story I heard on the radio this morning here in central Florida about a 33 year old man arrested for shooting at another car on I-4 because he said the car cut him off and the driver flipped him the finger. So he pulled a gun and shot at him. 33 year old - means he was born around 1977. I wonder what his upbringing was like? Single parent? Too many video games? Too much violence on TV?
Just saying.....
So he pulled a gun and shot at him. 33 year old - means he was born around 1977. I wonder what his upbringing was like? Single parent? Too many video games? Too much violence on TV?Well all the things you say can surely figure into his rage. I'm a little older than you and I loved Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons, and so on. But I think the main societal problem today is legalized abortion, starting in 1973. It's so "commonplace," that many probably get through days on end not even thinking about it, but its impact is felt. Mother Teresa predicted this early on when she said ...
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. --Mother TeresaIf we pray down abortion, think of the evil-minded people that will be shut down (quite literally; Planned Parenthood for example).
