Follow-up To "Kids Gone Wild"
Blogger John Martin pointed me to this article in today's Washington Times relating to my recent post "Kids Gone Wild." It supports the idea that those born after the decline of an era of Judeo-Christian influence have had a negative effect on society. While some may differ with my analysis of the cause, the burden of proof is soundly on their shoulders to prove otherwise since the two changes occured concurrently.
Of course, as I said, there may be other ideas regarding the cause of such statistical data. If so, I would be quite interested in hearing your theories.
British researchers report the notion that contemporary men who become fathers in their '30s shoulder their fair share of childcare is a myth.For anyone concerned about such a shift and would like to explore the causes in a more thorough fashion, I recommend Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey (Check it out in the Book Room). In that book, Nancy traces the decline of family and male responsibility from the Enlightenment Age through the Industrial Revolution, the 60's and into the situation we have today.
Rather, new fathers now in their '30s are less likely than men born in the 1950s to take equal responsibility for looking after their children, researchers at London University's Institute of Education have found.
Of course, as I said, there may be other ideas regarding the cause of such statistical data. If so, I would be quite interested in hearing your theories.
