Society nowadays doesn't seem like anything we grew up in, it's so complex and diverse that I can't help but wonder if this is where my kids are going to grow up and how do I manage.
While growing up fraudulent activities, prostitution, and others were seen as heinous crimes whereas today it is seen as a norm. How do I send my children out to society even with a thorough upbringing and not be afraid not knowing what society will through at them? It frightens me. Can't help but wonder.
As Billy Joel would put it 'We didn't start the fire', and what that means is that the society now is not much diferent that it was in the 80s or 90s. Some things are diferent, sure, but fundamental things you mentioned were the same, we just tend to have romanticized viwes about the pest, the 'grass i always greener' paradox.
