Our culture doesn't have a lot of coming of age rituals or expectations. Lack of purpose and responsibility does not do good things to people or societies. Ambiguity in self identity can lead to emotional and psychological isolation, and things like loneliness epidemics. I totally agree with the need for communication, expectations/helping set goals, and love is spelled T.I.M.E.
- pdow 6y agoAnother example I'll add to my collection of liberal misgivings. Liberal democracy and the liberal social and economic orders have done so much good for western societies, but this is another great example of how something they have displaced -- coming of age rituals and expectations -- has really had a negative impact on the people living in them.

- nsajko 6y agoWhat rituals and expectations are you thinking about?
- milkytron 6y agoMy guess would be coming of age celebrations such as bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceneras, etc.
