Youth Violence In The United States

Number of Pages 20

20 pages in length. Hands-on parenting has gone the way of the horse and buggy; no longer are kids raised in stable, functional families with an original mother and father but are shuffled into preschool, watched by nannies or babysitters and taught everything they (supposedly) need to know about life from mind-numbing influence of television and video games. Portrayals of solid, interactive family life in such programs as The Brady Bunch and Father Knows Best draw chuckles from contemporary generations for their silly, far-fetched impression of what family life has come to represent, only these portrayals are just as accurate for their era as shows like Roseanne and Married With Children are now where kids are disrespectful, rude, self-centered and lacking any social responsibility, which represents just the tip of the iceberg in a society where proper parenting has become a thing of the past. Detachment of this extent can reach epic proportions when mentally/emotionally unstable American kids grow into adolescents who have crossed over into violent behavior. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
