Entitlement Generation
How Did This Happen?
There are a number of factors that have caused this epidemic of entitlement. While parents play a large part in this, it's not just the parents who are to blame. There other factors that people aren't always taking into account.
TV, Video Games, and Social Media.
These things have a much bigger effect on kids than we realize.
​
Video games create a world that's not real.
Long-term exposure literally brainwashes kids with a fantasy in the vitual world.
​
TV has the same effect.
Kids expect to have what they see on TV. If you can't provide that for them, that's where conflict comes in.
​
But it goes way beyond that. All of the fantasy that's played out in violent, corrupt, sexual movies and music videos show kids a world where people can do these things without any real consequences.
​
Then we have Social Media. This media outlet can be depressing for anyone, young and old.
​
People portray this false happiness by posting about how great their life is, when in reality, their life isn't that great.
​
Then people see these posts wondering why their own life isn't as great as everyone elses.
​
Again, here comes the entitlement...
Did you know that 74% of parents say they provide financial support to their 18-29yr old ADULT children.
Did you know that 65% of moms admit their own children are spoiled?
​
​
The correlation of the two are self evident.
It will only be 8 years
until a 10 yr old
is one of the adults running this world.
There's a lot to learn in those 8 short years.
2,920 days isn't much in the grand scheme of life.
The average life expectancy is 78 years. That's 28,835 days.
