the people who disagree could be the abusers!!!

Answer 1

Yes, I agree. But if I were faced with similar circumstances as a child, I'd try my best to break from that vicious cycle of hatred, anger, greed and violence when I grow up. Otherwise the cycle perpetuates itself.

I've haven't had the rosiest childhood myself and managing my own anger isn't easy because I come from a family of hot-headed people. I know that's what I need to address, and address it I will! We can't always blame our parents FOREVER. Once we hit adulthood, we need to make a decisive action to break free from whatever that dictated our childhood.

Answer 2

I agree that way too many kids are abused, but the hate violence and greed are also from other factors.

The hate and violence could stem from other things because I know a lot of adults who were never abused but are really nasty toward everyone. Greed, that can stem from anything.

Anger,, I see a lot of adults that feel they run the planet and everyone else in between because as kids their parents never issued a punishment.

The "lets put little Johnny on a pedistal because he's just so special because he's Johnny" attitude has caused todays young adults to feel that they should be considered "special" even though they haven't done jack! They expect to have a six figure income right out of high school because they've been taught that they're "so special and unique".

As soon as the reality that they're not all the special and they have to work at McDonalds to get through college for the high paying job, they get all jaded and angry.

Abuse has been around since mankind existed. People were nicer in the older days, a lot of them were abused as kids, yet they're considerate people.

people now days have just been taught the "me first" attiude all their lives,, that's why there's so much anger.

Answer 3

I certainly don't agree. Child abuse in past ages was never so prevalent as to account for the greed, hate etc as there is today. However, in times such as Victorian when child abuse was much worse, it didn't create the greed, hate etc that you refer to of today. What has helped create this state, I think, is the easy lifestyle we have. So much handed on a plate but also the fact that lower standards are accepted now. There is such little drive to do better and this occurrs in all walks of life. There is so little repect for the law, for others and caused because, I believe, people get away with things too easily. Partly due to the impact of political correctness and the "touchy, feely" part of society.

Answer 4

I think so. I think the root source of people's disturbance today-- not even just extreme problem but also moderate maladjustment or stunted development- are from being abused and neglected. When i say that, I dont mean the obvious- being left in a closet 23 hours a day- I mean, the children were not empathized as children. Parents nowadays wed too young or have children for the wrong reasons, before they are ready, before they can truly dedicate their lives to the children. So instead of the child growing up in a world that cares for them, they are stuck in a world which is dependent on their functions, their performance, and how 'happy' they can keep the parents. This, essentially, is abuse because it disregards the effect on the child and favors only the other person.
Basically I feel that people are nowadays shrieking out for attention- recognition, empathy, and the verification they never recieved as children, acknowledgement of themselves as separate, distinguishable identites: constant cell phone attention, lots of drama made to get themselves attention and significance, strings of relationships that are destined to nowhere but serve to plug a hole in the spirit/psyche, etc-- and the longer the person seeks to 'treat' this missing aspect of their lives rather than understand and cure it, the longer it will inevitably lead to abuse and the exact same cycle over again-- because voi la- that person is concerned only with themselves, not with the others, and there permits abuse again. They'll treat others and their children selfishly, fail to recognize their unique experience, etc.....

If parents were really there for their children and really cared for what was best for the child they would now allow them to develop so negatively. They would develop the strength to intervene when bad traits showed up, rather than play powerless or blame society or whatever else. It makes sense though, if tv and society is more of a parent than they themselves are, to blame that. But that's why we need parents who are over themselves, in order to be truly effective=nurturing parents.....

Answer 5

No I disagree, think of it this way as childrend grow up no matter what thier age they still go through thier growing stage where they get emotional and stuff and some go through heart break hate thier parents either becuase they didn't get what they want or they being treated badly. So through thier experiences the effect of other peoples example can all contribute to the outcome of how they'll be when thier adults. All i can say is that although adults have their angry moments, some more than others we shouldn't just piont the figure to parents. Becuase anything and everything contribute to the outcome of the way a person is and a person has the sole power to change themsleves.

Answer 6

No I think the problem today is that children don't get enough discipline. If they were taught moral, values, and the meaning of consequences then we wouldn't have the problems we do today. They need to be taught manner, and respect. A little spanking now and then will do them good. I got them when I was a kid and I like to think I turned out alright.
I do agree that there is too much child abuse and something should be done about it, but that is not the only cause of our problems today!

Answer 7

yea right , i think a lot of us are like that cos we chose to be that way ,there are so many ppl out there who have been molested and abused that didnt turn out messed up in the head , we should start takeing responsibilty for out actions and lives and stop blaming some uncle or friend that abused us .
and that not true about ppl who disagree as being the abuser , i was abused as a child and i didnt turn out messed up , i used what ever happend to me as a letter and that always reminded me of who i am ,i didnt let any of that alter my life in a bad way but gave me the drive to move farward in a positive way .

Answer 8

greed- no. hate-no. the only one i can see on the list which could contribute is violence. this is because of abuse to the child goes in a cycle, thats why there would be more violence due to a child being abused than anger.
Anger would maybe more in the cycle of alcholism, etc.

Answer 9

Apparantly one in four is the latest result to say how many girls have been abused in any way (although the definition of 'abuse' includes exposure e.g. flashers, although still a pretty shocking number). Do not forget that 20,000 years ago we were living in caves, and are all pretty selfish animals at the end of the day, even if we don't think we are.

Answer 10

i think a critical step in becoming an "adult" deals with overcoming childhood. there are a lot of people who never overcome thier own inner tumoil and it can be traced back to childhood but i think the real source of this is that particularly in western culture greed hate anger and violence are rewarded by society,
