Children are left to grow up on their own, learning from their peers rather than their parents. Childhood itself is disappearing, as young children are left to face adult situations alone and without guidance. Some are little more than holding pens for illiterate young ruffians. Few effectively teach even the most basic skills. The entertainment industry is a bottomless sewer, inverting good and evil and flooding the land with sex, violence and degradation of every sort.
Video games desensitize children to killing by turning people into objects.
Popular music glorifies killers and reduces women to whores. The high arts are almost dead. Art and architecture are intended to be ugly and alienating. Serious music has become a self-parody. The news media values sensationalism over facts.
