GIVEN MY TRAINING ... WHAT SORTS OF THREADS U'D LIKE?

What courses did you teach at the university?

As far as topics psychology is always interesting. Before I'd have asked about specific psyc topics but nowadays all I wonder is what the heck has happened to the American population? It's like they've devolved radically in the last 25 years, downright unbelievable. I believe this devolution is one cause of the drastic police violence as well. Never believed all that violence was strictly the cops fault.

@airen,

' later.'

This is gonna be good..........!

@airen,
I'll ring your bell with something I ponder over a LOT.

The family dynamics has drastically changed in the last few decades. Both parents working, lack of parental skills, peer pressure, digital age, parenting out of guilt by over-indulging. Unplugging as parents and handing out electronic gadgets as pacifiers and substitutes for human contact.

There are a lot of parents who try really really hard, and with the current trends it is becoming increasingly difficult. The majority of parents who are not dedicated to their children above all else is increasing.

It seems to me that parenting methods are in serious need of a drastic overhaul to meet current challenges, but I can't wrap my head around how that will/ could be accomplished.

As the standard of living continues its backward trend, I see problem youth becoming an ever-increasing issue. I don't like- no; I LOATH putting kids on psychotropic drugs because they possess more energy than most, and act out in their boredom.

If there is something being done to stop the decline, I am not aware of it. CAN something be done, and if so what do you think might be effective?
