Fatherlessness Quotes

• The most important domestic challenge facing the U.S. at the close of the twentieth century is the re-creation of fatherhood as avital social role for men. At stake is nothing less than the success of the American experiment. For unless we reverse the trend of fatherlessness, no other set of accomplishments--not economic growth or prison construction or welfare reform or better schools--will succeed in arresting the decline of child well-being and the spread of male violence. To tolerate the trend of fatherlessness is to accept the inevitability of continued social recession.

• Estados Unidos se está convirtiendo en una sociedad cada vez más huérfana de padre. Hace una generación, un niño estadounidense podía esperar razonablemente crecer con su padre. Hoy, un niño estadounidense puede razonablemente esperar no hacerlo. La ausencia de padre se está acercando a la paridad con la paternidad como rasgo definitorio de la infancia estadounidense.
