The social culture in which children are raised is the primary determinant of whether they will succeed as adults. A culture that seeks instant gratification and considers freedom from every obligation as a primary objective is the antithesis to one that nurtures the discipline and responsibility required for the positive development of children...
 
[The West], devoid of standard social norms for sexual relations or parental responsibilities, an increasing number of children are born into environments inadequate for their upbringing. We see teenage mothers, single parents without adequate incomes, parents in the growing underclass, parents on drugs, and so forth.
 
The risk of these children being unemployed or involved in violent activity or other crimes as adults is much higher that for children in stable two-parent families. But even those children raised in two-parent families who do not have a strong cultural identification have some of the stereo-typed characteristics of 'Generation X' - anomie, aimlessness, and so forth.
