Episode Description
- The purpose and scope of the episode-
- How do we teach our kids their actions have consequences when it seems everyone wants to blame someone else for everything?
- Today’s topic:
- Do your kids know what cancel culture is?:
- When they don’t want to play with someone who is being a jerk, they should walk away; when others won’t play with them, they should stop being jerks.
- Don’t be an asshole. Just because you can be, doesn’t mean you should be.
- Grace and truth as a spectrum: treat each instance with the appropriate amount of grace and the appropriate amount of truth
- Cancel culture is not new; social media exacerbates it. Who’s to blame?
- Millennials who have never been punched in the face for saying something.
- Who want everything to be fair.
- Who expect someone else will solve their problems and take care of them.
- The result of a failed parenting strategy that tried to protect them from everything.
- GenX who hasn’t stepped up to lead.
- Cynicism and snark are not leadership.
- Being squeezed out because they don’t give a damn.
- Baby Boomers who won’t take responsibility for the shitshow they have created.
- Who trade in thinly veiled racism
- Who amass power and refuse to relinquish it
- Who make policy and legislation that erode our civil liberties
- Millennials who have never been punched in the face for saying something.
- What can we do about it?
- Teach your kids to resist blaming others
- Help them see that there are real consequences for their actions
