In the U.S., there is a lot of social support for weak and poor families, but many are ashamed and don't look for help. I also think there are plenty of examples of people who could be idolized. There's still a lot of good people out there. But there are some issues. It has become quite typical for families to grow while both parents are working, whether it's really necessary or not. Mom should be home to raise the kids, if possible, and not someone from daycare.

Street gangs, an increase in the socalled "working poor" and drug abuse by young people are just three things that should not be there, or at least not so literally high then... :hmm:
