One of the most obvious causes of the many socially disoriented of our youth, is the fact that they are not growing up with proper role models. Does the absence of such fuel a sub-conscious rage, which can erupt in terrible acts?
Consider this: Until recently the ideal for young men was found in concepts adopted from the Chivalric Code in Christian Europe. Would anyone suggest that if more of our youth were conditioned by Chivalric values, we would not see a reduction in anti-social behavior?
In my opinion, while there may be multiple factors at play here, most of them relate to the loss of traditional purpose among our youth. Most of them!
