'Something like this' is me trying to bring you back on topic.Yeah, I was waiting on something like this, out of respect for the mods and other users I'm not going to play the Nicodemus game.
Last night on a religious program on the radio, the Vice-Chancellor of the Catholic University was asked about child sexual abuse, and he responded by blaming the family.
Yes, the Vice-Chancellor exculpated the Catholic Church by saying that most child sexual abuse occurs within the family.
With 202 countries turning a blind eye to child abuse, the first thing to do is to make the teaching of the History of Childhood compulsory in schools.
The second thing to do is to agitate for a national judicial inquiry with coercive powers into institutional child abuse.
Are we up to it?
I'm curious as to the nature of your first point. How would teaching a history of childhood would encourage people to treat children better?
Teaching the History of Childhood wouldn't encourage people to treat children better, rather it would lift the veil hiding childhood.
Also the History of Childhood would delineate the various forms of child rearing and the effects on the child.
Also we could see how child rearing has changed over time.
We could see the relationship of child rearing to increasing prosperity.
And we could see the relationship of child rearing to tribal, literate and electronic societies.
Our immediate problem is that each one of us has been subject to a form of childrearing, and unless we have explored the emotional effects in therapy, it remains unknown us and we romanticise our child rearing so we will feel better.
But the price of feeling better is that we must drug ourselves with alcohol and nicotine and other drugs to get through the day. But worse, we unconsciously pass onto our children the child rearing we take for granted.
So our first step is to step outside the taken for granted.
Ah, interesting. Kind of a psychology course, actually, in addition to history. Lessons on how to step outside one's narrative.
Well, 95% of Australian voters approve of the Royal Commission and 3% don't.
Let us pray that he is right.
