We live in a world of instant gratification and instant rewards. Along with this is the loss of discipline both personal and parental. It is okay for a parent to spank a child but don’t dare take a belt, or switch to a child as that is considered child abuse. Gone are the days of taking ones child to the woodshed for a good tanning.
Society wants discipline but will not tolerate discipline that instills proper respect and learning. I know that is a weighty sentence. Today’s discipline is to send a child to their room; that is like sending them to an amusement park. They have their computers, XBOX, Music Players, Cell Phones and other electronics to entertain them. You are better off punishing them by sending them to the kitchen for the day. Spankings are old school and frowned upon, why I do not know. We and our parents before us survived spankings and the proverbial trips to the woodshed and we did not turn out to psychotic or social outcasts as we are being told today. A good spanking leaves a lasting message, provided all is forgiven when the spanking is over. I clearly remember hearing “this is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you”; never quite under stood that at the time.
Parents today are too busy with their careers to be good parents. They would rather pacify than discipline. Employers have to take a lot of the blame for this as they demand more than they should from their employees leaving them to drained to be good parents. Then they turn right around and complain that finding good help is impossible in today’s job market. If the employers of the world would look further than their noses they would see that by creating a more stress free work place they would be investing in the future of their company seeing a longer and better return on their investment.
We could have the world you and I are looking for. The world we want would have less crime, less drug and alcohol problems. Better respect for our fellowman. The world will never be a perfect place as someone will always want more than they are entitled too. But if each of us takes the time to show one other person the respect he/she is do, or to help someone without waiting to be asked. Those acts are contagious and eventually we can make our part of the world a better place to live.
My advice: Don’t give up on mankind; make an effort to change your part of the world to be a better place. It takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown. So put a smile on your face and say good morning to your neighbor and wish them a good day. You will be surprised by how they react.

You're not the only one that feels this way. The entire family dynamic has been nearly destroyed. Children are definitely lacking discipline. Parents are determined to make their children happy- no matter what the cost. I'm not sure if they, the parents, aren't happy with their lives or just don't care- but the problem is getting worse.
Children are growing up thinking that they deserve everything- food, clothing, a home, the new cell phone, etc.
However, there is a small portion, inc. parents, that are still using the good judgement. So, don't give up. Most people aren't stupid- they're just lazy and complacent.
