I personally feel that extended families offer the best solution. They offer the most security, the most flexibility and expose children to the widest possible social education - which is why they were the norm for the bulk of human existence (and still are the norm for all non-human primate species). While largely intact in my grandparents’ and even to some extent, in my parent’s time, beginning in my own generation and accelerating rapidly thereafter, we have witnessed the fragmentation and annihilation of the family structure, beginning with its reduction to the nuclear family and subsequently its dwindling down to single parent households. Simultaneously, we have witnessed skyrocketing populations of homeless people (who are someone’s unwanted relative), and the explosive construction of daycare and hospice facilities to care for our (unwanted) children and (unwanted) dysfunctional and dying parents. As if this were not bad enough, we now have same sex parents, which presume (incorrectly) that a woman can substitute for a father and a man for a mother in the upbringing of a heterosexual child - despite abundant evidence to the contrary indicating that the means by which males and females relate to and instruct their children differs substantially between the two sexes. It is little wonder therefore that our children are struggling academically and socially and experience an ever widening range of cognitive and developmental maladies. The policies that are in place that encourage this fragmentation must be stopped and reversed immediately if we are to have any hope of raising our children to become the intelligent, psychologically stable and socially astute adults that will be required to lead our nation forward into the future.
I was looking forward to so many interesting comments like on millions of other random videos. But no, not this one. This is surprising and am I the only one who cares?
The video is not at all interesting because the men is speaking unclearly and it's hard to understand. He should make the video interesting by speaking clearly .
Very intriguing! I hadn't considered how the changes in economy had effected family life so much! Also very well presented!
Glad you liked it...

Interesting view! I go agree that multigeneration households would help with so many problems we face today!
Keep continue.....
Awesome analysis
Thank you...hope it's useful.
can this be used like a creative common
If you could say a little about what you mean, how you'd like to use the video, I could respond more usefully...
Only one comment! Wow, The human world doesn’t care about family because of materialism.
okay brandon

No you're not

Perhaps you should turn on the subtitles.
yes, it's truly hard to understand for a non-native person like me. However, the content he made was actually good
