Do we need to fear the future?

     Many things were worse at the start of the 20th century than they are today. Thousands of children worked full-time in mines and mills. Most workers labored ten hours a day, often six days a week. Women didn’t have the right to vote.

      In 1900 a white child had one chance in three of losing a brother or sister before age 15 and a black child had a fifty-fifty chance of seeing a sibling die. Only six percent of children graduated from high school, compared with 88 percent today.

      Why do so many people think families are facing worse problems now than in the past?

      There is plenty of stress in modern families, but one reason they seem worse is that we no longer sweep problem under the rug. Another reason is that we have higher expectations of parenting and marriage. We are right to be concerned about inattentive parents, conflicted marriages, antisocial values, teen violence and child abuse. But we need to realize that many of our worries today reflect how much better we want to be, not how much better we used to be.
