Today's Young People - What They Ought to Learn from Their Parents - Eugene M Walter & Rodney L Beemer - July 1969

Eugene M Walter & Rodney L Beemer

What do young people need to learn from Dad and Mom? How does this square with what they are being taught? The generation gap is one of the grim realities of our time. Well over one half of the world's population is under twenty-one. And today much of this youthful segment of society is in revolt. Why in revolt? Because our young people today feel betrayed by the three traditional character- molding" and life-shaping institutions of society: the home, the school and the church. But especially, it seems, they feel betrayed by the home. And in all too many cases, with good reason! The home is the world's first authority, the world's first comfort, the world's first protection, provision, security and warmth to every young child – regardless of race, color or nationality. Yet in a worldwide sense, the home is fast disappearing as the traditional bulwark for standards of conduct. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
