Where has Our Caring Society Gone? 26 June 2010

 “Now, as world changes occur on a daily basis, one must look to oneself to change with it.  Our own responsibilities are so often neglected and it is these that must be sorted out now.

“If we choose to ignore these vital aspects of our life, we will in turn create a situation that can only grow worse.

“Parents very much see that now in their own families, where the children tend to rule the roost these days and tell parents what to do instead of the other way around.

“We have collectively created an unbalanced arena whereby law and order in the home, and out of it, is out of control.

“Until we start to face these facts that society is very much out of control in certain areas of the country, we risk alienating ourselves from those who need us most.

“The child must know its place and know that discipline starts in the home.  School is but an extension of that home and discipline is further enforced.

“With control being re-established, society can only profit from it.  There will be less unrest within the individual and they will know in no uncertain terms just what is expected of them.

“From these guidelines, society is reformed and a happier situation for all occurs.  Education of the masses has largely been ignored in so many areas.

“We allow so much violence to be shown by the media and it is acceptable to all who seem to watch it.  Bad behaviour left unchecked is a breeding ground for corruption on so many fronts.

“Child abuse, abuse on women, not only in the home but in the workplace and the old and frail all suffer in one way or another.  The invalids are mocked in so many ways.

“Until we, as a nation, start to bring back discipline within our society and to start to take drastic action, we then become a failed society and so many lives are devastated by the consequences of turning that blind eye.

“Where has our caring society gone, where neighbour would help neighbour, where bullies in a town get away constantly with bullying the individual?

“Where are we?  Until we start to band together and bring back discipline in so many aspects of our lives, we will actually achieve anarchy and have lost ourselves to blame.”
