people weren't afraid to give there kids a good smack when it was called for. now society is to much up everyone else's *** and people are afraid to discipline their kids in ways that are appropriate. sticking a child in front of a screen seems to be the way people cope with their kids now a days. distraction is key. therefore children are not taught right from wrong. only, gimme gimme or i wont shut up.

Hitting children does not teach them right from wrong. It teaches them that might is right.Like (1)

you do not have to hit them, that is not what i am saying. but put a kid in their place. when a 9 y/o calls his mom a *****, i think a good smack to the mouth is well deserved. when a toddler is reaching for an outlet or about to walk into the road, a smack on the but is a quick shock that makes them realize that what they are doing is wrong and that smack is a whole lot less painful then getting electrocuted or hit by a car. i personally use time outs. 1 minute for every year for their age. works well.

Most of todays kids will be bad citizens - courtesy, their upbringing, pseudo individualism and fraud research.
when we were kids , if a kid failed to clear a test,
he/she would take the test again and try till he/she clears it.
Today, if a kid failed a test, then child psychologists and whole cra$p of theories
and analyses , media and other stuff is crammed into the child's head which
make the child useless.Like (3)

Social interaction isn't the same. Now all they do is sit at the pc on Facebook, when they should be meeting up in person. Not their fault, but old days was better in some ways.

Back then, couples were married most of the time. The husband went to work, while the wife stayed home and took care of the kids. (Would work the other way round as well)
Nowadays both parents go to work to be able to afford a good life. They got no time for the kids.Like (3)

In the olden days we were taught to think of others, today's kids are brought up in an atmosphere of everything is okay and it's all about them and how they feel.

I couldn't say whether today's mores are more proper than yesterday's, but I will say this: parents are more permissive and kids are more bold! If I'd have behaved the way I've seen some kids behave today... I could be wrong, but I think Mom and Dad would've come down hard on me- probably Dad at least. Still, maybe the laxness is for the best. I wouldn't know, really.

how I grew up ...
self-discipline by fear (dad's rage, god's wrath) kept me 'in-line'
respect of elders (parents, teachers, others in authority) was a 'given'
bullying, fighting, fits of anger needed to be atoned for in the confessional
parents were the hierarchy, and deserved to be treated as such
'nowadays' the views seem to be ...
do whatever, to who ever, and let the parents deal with the problems
respect no one older than yourself ... they're all idiots
bullying, fighting, fits of anger will make you newsworthy
parents are a joke and make sure you take them for all they're worthLike (2)

the biggest difference is that the rapid change in the state of the art overrules the old fashion do it the hard way rules.
kids are way ahead in high tech stuff today, more than ever.
it's like when we were kids our parents told us about the birds and the bees but we knew all that years before. today our kids teach us the birds and the bees and how to run our business too.
i was learning computers without a mouse and my kid had a computer in his first grade class back then, he knew more computer science than what i did.
so whats missing? let me tell you that there's no easy way out and not enough discipline today. the most ignorant ones are the richest and their kids too.Like (2)
