The father's duty is to teach his children
"The social and economic changes over the past 250 years not only shifted a man’s attention to the workplace, but it also changed the way a man views himself. For much of human history, a man’s identity and security came from his family. In ancient and medieval times, a man would be introduced to others as the “son of so-and-so,” a sign of respect to him because of his family ties.. the greatest insult you gave a man.. was to say that he had no family roots."
"Looking around today, I can easily see the end result of this change. The postmodern family is less a single cohesive unit than it is an affiliation of free agents.."
"Patriarchy comes from two Latin words: patria (“from father”) and arche (“to rule”).. Before the Industrial Revolution, most fathers actively participated in many aspects of their children’s education."
"Tossed around like a sailboat on a stormy sea, a man is pushed by his longing for adventure and.. the workplace.."
Richard Wagner, 2008
