First another OT warning.
As I said in my previous post; I'm more concerned about the children.
Most of you probably know that I work as a social worker, and much of my
work is with abused children.
What I experience is that the one of main problems for abused children is
that they are filled with fear and that their ability to trust people is
seriously damaged.
With this in mind, it is kind of absurd that society and parent in their
effort to protect their children fill them with fear, telling them not to
trust fellow human beings.
I agree. There was the story in the news a few months ago about the boy on a
scouting trip who got lost for a few days. Apparently in that time he heard
searchers looking for him but hid, not knowing if they were good guys or
bad. I am concerned as to what kind of society we will have in another 50
years. Will a generation brought up on distrust of others be willing to deal
with the issues surrounding an ever shrinking global society? Will the
progress made in human rights be lost as we align ourselves into small
groups of similar people?
Questions to be asked.
