How generations have changed

I think it more has to do with how they are being rasied. Not that the parents arent good just that there not around as much. Like with the ecomny most couple are both working some mutiple jobs i think they just dont have the time as well as people used to, to really raise a child.

This generation is much less mature and kind to others. The killing is what gets me. Why would they even THINK that?

I would think that is because of television and sometimes their parents. I know some sort of thing that happened to my cousin. His parents let him watch, not that violence, but some sort of violence movies and let him play shooting games on game consoles at a younger age. Now that he grew up, well, he can be sometimes disrespectful and mean. He used to hit his mom until there was the day she spank him saying that he's not supposed to hit her. That was because he was only watching/playing some kind of small violence videos/games. But for everyone else, he will be sometimes disrespectful but thank god, most of the time he's good. But I think its because of the television and parents who let them watch those things at a younger age. My dad would never let us watch all these movies or shows (simpsons, Next Friday, etc).

Well, things are bad right now, but let's not rather look through things from the past through rose tinted glasses. Previous generations had their problems. Or as I once said "every generation after yours is the worst." But, regardless of that fact, there are just a lot of disrespect. Now is that obvious because that is the time we live it in or because it has an increased. The blame with bad children lays where it always has laid, inattentive parents. There are parents, who quite frankly, just park their children in front of the television set or let them on the Internet or put a video game in front of them or something, because they don't want to be bothered by them. So children are left by their own devices and a proper relationship is not built with their parents. So when the parents are going to try to assert their authority, of course their children will lash out. Because the parents only want to be bothered with them because they want to punish them. I wouldn't blame bad language on television though. Because even though things may seem far more extreme on television, then they were in past years, they are still dialed down from what you might hear in the real world. And nine times out of ten, children are going to learn coarse language from other adults around them. You might think that they are not listening, but they are.

Generations are more spoiled than ever. They obtain too much freedom resulting in difficulty to discipline them. I am sometimes saddened when I see a group of teenagers 'hanging out' but can be argued differently as they are all doing individual activities on their cell phones. Also, when it comes to laws and rules about children being abused/ labor laws, people always twist its true meaning, and when children cry about the chores they do, and use those rules, they are completely wrong and the activities they do meet the definition but not meet the hardship that those laws are trying to prevent (i.e. in Asia, where it is more severe). Yes it is okay to protect your children, but expose them to things so they don't become naive to everything. You will always notice children who have to work to earn what they have, can do much more in society than those that were over protected.

Yes TV and movies make the children go for violent activity. The parents are requested to take care of their children and protect them from involve in illegal activities. We cannot control the entertainment media. we have the responsibility to take care of our children from those generation change. we have to take control them for particular age. after crossing those ages, they matured a lot, our younger generation matured more to control their mind and keeping their responsibilities. After that they will take care their life smoothly.

I think that it is due to more and more parents not taking responsibility for their children. They want schools to be responsible or the rest of the community to be. There is too much coddling and too much concern about the kiddies self esteem and not enough about teaching them respect and the difference between right and wrong. Don't try to say parents don't have time because both are working. Both my parents worked and the kids in my family did not turn out the way the kids are today.

It's most likely because of technology.
