Social/political changes the past 30 years
that make me the most sad
Some of these began to change even before 1980, but they've gotten worse.
Some of these began to change even before 1980, but they've gotten worse.
The breakdown of the traditional family
(especially in the black community)
(especially in the black community)
The increased promiscousness of television
(there is no family time anymore)
The steady loss of the middle class
(the rich get richer, the poor get poorer)
A far right view that most liberals are not patriotic or spiritual
(this is a damaging generalization)
A far left view that most conservatives are not intelligent or tolerant
(this is a damaging generalization)
Parents who blame teachers when their kids fail
to excel or behave at school (responsibility starts at home)
Under-achieving teachers who can't lose their jobs
because of their union (the kids must come first)
The increased promiscuousness of music
(especially rap, hip-hop and rock)
Screens of all sizes and shapes that dominate
too many peoples' lives (I keep a keen eye on my use)
An increase in obesity, especially among children
(often because their lives are dominated by screens)
