The poor were a small and isolated problem which did not effect the majority of America. However, the prosperity after the Second World War brought the problem to mainstream America. Many women worked in the factories while the men were overseas fighting. Afterward, Europe’s industry was destroyed and America was called to supply the world with manufactured goods. The high demand for workers led many women to return to work in pursuit of the dream of a house in the country. With both parents working, children got very little of their parent’s time and many spent a lot of time in daycare. Many felt abandoned and rebelled against capitalism which they felt stole their parents. Some went to live in communes, but they and others also rejected Christian values like the importance of family and the rule of law., which dominated society. An increasing number of kids refused to marry or have kids. Russia during the Cold War knew it could not overthrow America and so began to undermine it. It used the media to undermine Christian values by flooding the media with sex and unmarried characters. They began infiltrating the schools through liberal textbooks and later with sex education teaching free love protected by contraceptives and abortion. Women’s equality groups which had sought to protect women and the family were replaced by women’s liberation groups promoting personal achievement through freedom from family responsibilities and rules protecting the family. Gay rights groups sought to redefine the family to gain respectability and break down traditional male-female roles which later expanded to push the transgender movement. By redefining gender roles, it destroyed the family structure needed to train children to become adults. Many of the problems we face today have resulted from the breakdown of the family.
