Children of Our Culture




'Thinking Out Loud' - Philosophical Dialogues With Everyday People show

Summary: This is the tenth in our on-going series of philosophical podcasts. The topic is "How has the cultural experiment of the last three generations affected the children of today?" The grownups of today seem to be still trying to find themselves. Where has that left our children? Are they to find their own way? Have we made a Faustian bargain turning parenting over to TV-baby-sitting, mainstream education, and behavior management by prescription drugs, so grownups can have more time to pursue their careers, their pleasures, and propel the economy? Will the outcome be a brave new cultural paradigm born out of the rebellious subculture of resilient young souls or have we set the course for our own social destruction? Join citizen philosophers John Tytus, Ophelia and myself in this stimulating and insightful discussion. Music provided by David Rood.
