View original postI don't agree with the basic premise that the driver is fear. In my experience the entitled children of helicopter parents are not timid and fearful. Quite the opposite. Being raised to believe that your wants and desires are equal to or more important than those of anyone else doesn't make you fearful when you get the rude awakening that the rest of the world isn't going to treat you like your parents. Rather, it makes them angry and frustrated.
View original postPersonally I don't see any chance of easily resolving this. Children are no longer raised to respect traditional authority figures. They are taught that their viewpoint is equally important and valid. A generational change is needed and I don't see it happening.
View original postAuthority for Authority sake is just as Mores-less as No Respect for Authority...both end up in the idea of Anomie "a condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals". Anomie is the breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community, e.g., under unruly scenarios resulting in fragmentation of social identity and rejection of self-regulatory values

View original postAuthority for Authority sake is just as Mores-less as No Respect for Authority, and I would argue both of them are happening now simultaneously. In little pockets of society we have such extreme versions of little groups where I want my culture the way X and we demonize and negative partisanship another little group who wants their culture Y and these groups are in their little "filter bubbles" where they are homogeneous and there is no allowing of multiple opinions, instead we are going for something that is orthodox instead of heterodox.
View original postSo what do these little groups of society with such extreme opinions have to do with parents and kids and authority? Well when you teach a type of society to your kids and then throw them into another society that is such a different reality then you are going to create a system where the kids fundamentally reject the parents view of how society should be, or they try to mix and some thrive and some fail, and the people who fail will then be attracted to viewpoints and systems where they are the winners and someone else is the enemy, the other, and should be made the loser.
View original postWhat I am saying is society is changing in a way that people do not know how to keep up, and even if most of people are adapting and feeling their place in today's society some people are not adapting fast enough where they feel comfortable, and due to how humans are social creatures even the people who are "catching up and thriving in this rapidly changing world" will have their viewpoints shifted and influenced by people who are not staying up. You can call this the gift and also the curse of empathy but it is far more than empathy for it is also the same system and other systems related to our ability to create identity, imagine the past and future, create culture, and so on.
View original postRight now society is not keeping up to the needs of the many, and even when the many are doing well we see enough of the few not keeping up we question the system.
