[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677857, member: 11791"] This is just my personal opinion... What happened is that civilization and society has gone through massive change in the last 200 years, and especially in the last 70 or so. When my parents grew up, everybody had a "role". There was man's work, and woman's work. Children had specific roles - none of which included being the boss, unless one of your role was to care for younger children in which case your authority was over those younger than you and nobody else. The barber, butcher, baker, blacksmith, laundry lady... everybody had a ROLE, and you knew what was expected of you. You were [I]raised[/I] to know what was expected of you. And then... WWII threw a monkey wrench into roles. We weren't designed to handle change at this pace. So we haven't handled it well. Nobody knows what there role is anymore. It's all grey and fuzzy. We tolerate everything - and stand for nothing. As a result, the next generation(s) don't have a base from which to define themselves. [/QUOTE]
