One thing I've been thinking a lot about lately is the increasing lack of productive physical activity available to men in a lot of settings. Idleness and sedentary lifestyles are increasing in prevalence. Manual labor and sports are both on the decline. Physical activities are good for the body and soul, and it's sad to see them disappearing. I think catharsis is important for men in particular, and idleness is particularly destructive for men. If there aren't engaging activities available for men, they will make something up to stay busy, often in destructive patterns.
