Changes

Vicki:  Thank you.  I’m very concerned within our [[culture]] of the disenfranchised and broken [[status]] of many families, and also the inability of our [[culture]] to prepare young people for [[parenthood]].  It seems to be the most important role we play and yet it receives the least amount of [[education]] and [[preparation]].  Can you speak to that?

MONJORONSON:  Yes, I would be glad to.  Let us move forward in time and look backwards from the [[perspective]] of 30 years to your [[society]] now.  You will, in 2040 look back and see that this era, beginning in the mid [http://www.wikpedia.org/wiki/1950's 1950’s]—and I speak mostly about this United States [[culture]], because it is so [[influential]] to your world culture and other nations—that it is something which has an [[effect]] upon others, and that is why I mention this culture.  You will look back at an era of abandoned [[children]]; abandoned children who lost their [[emotional]] and social attachment to their [[families]], and [in] some ways to themselves, their [[communities]], their society and their world.  You will see that this is a painful transient era of abandonment; you will see this era which led to much more [[conscious]] and [[intentional]] [[purposes]] for childrearing.

Thirty years from now, your world will have passed through the decimation and the withering of your [[populations]] and the winnowing of those who can [[survive]] and those who cannot.  Though you will see that it is [[essential]] for a sustainable [[community]] to come into [[existence]], that [[childrearing]] be given the incredible and complete [[attention]] that it thoroughly deserves, for in the years before age 20, lies the developing [[potential]] for the person later in their life to become a contributing member to their family, clan, community and society.  Childrearing will be seen as far too important to be ignored for [[economic]] reasons.  Having large families will not be encouraged, and small families of [[meaningful]] nature—less than 4 children—will be [[encouraged]], whereas having a single child will be thought of as peculiar, for the social [[necessity]] of raising children to learn how to be children, rather than being adults at such an early age, which is oftentimes the case when children are raised alone.  It is a matter of how to bring and educate effective adults into existence.  And this begins even before [[conception]].  I will leave those [[statements]] as they exist and you can continue.
