Title: Part 2 of 2 - Americans Must Solve a Civilization-Level Crisis
Topic: Crisis in Manhood

Discussed by Brenda Hafera
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Should more attention be focused on vocational training opportunities (blue-collar jobs) instead of a four-year college degree? Brenda Hafera explains how the opportunities are there, but many young men are simply living with family and don’t want to work. This (laziness) is another major problem! Brenda recommends the book: “Men Without Work” by Nicholas Eberstadt.

Drug abuse is a common problem among men in America. Does this contribute to the work crisis as well?

Are there any simple solutions? How can we overcome this crisis? Brenda Hafera discusses the importance of school choice and social interaction (getting out into the real world and not being buried in our screens).

Are engaged fathers vital to the success of our children (both boys and girls)?
