1. Lack of Personal Responsibility. Well, our President is showing us how to do that each and every day. "It's not me, I didn't do it." ...or...I tried, but couldn't do it--I should be rewarded anyway. We're starting this at early early ages now--you don't "lose" soccer games anymore. Everyone wins! Seriously--that makes me sick.
2. Short Attention Spans. The internet and immediate gratification of this world has ruined us. Our own Congress doesn't read legislation before passing it because they just "don't have time." Thank you for that Stimulus bill.
3. Excessive Self-Esteem. Well, this goes back to lack of personal responsibility, in my opinion. We tell our kids they're right and they're good and even if they do something wrong, that it is ok, rather than teaching them the value of a hard day's work. The value of losing. The value of taking responsibility. Because we've convinced our kiddos that they're perfect in every way--they have these esteems that are impossible to crush, even when they're wrong.
4. Short Term Thinking/Instant Gratification. Well, again, in my opinion, this goes hand in hand with our short attention spans. We want it now. Never mind what the consequences will be tomorrow.
5. Immorality. God is gone. The virtues and values of the Great Generation are gone. Children don't know or care what it means to respect senority. There is no chivalry. Being a southern lady, it is heartbreaking to witness this each and every day. We allow corruption in politics to occur and occur without blinking an eye. Our SECRETARY OF TREASURY failed to pay TAXES at one point in his lifetime and now gets to punish others that do the exact same.
