Parents have a big influence on children but society may have a lot of influence too if they aren\u2019t firmly grounded in their beliefs. America was founded on Christian principles. Though there have been times during America\u2019s expanding west that there have been areas without churches and their influence, the churches moved into those areas and tamed them through teaching Christian values. In the mid 20th Century, a vast majority of Americans either were active in church or at least had some connection to one. The church taught the values to the parents who lived it out in their everyday life.\u00a0 They voted for politicians and school board members that supported Christian values and read newspapers and listened to radio and TV stations that supported Christian values. The politicians\u00a0 enacted laws on Christian principles and school board members hired teachers and enacted policies based on Christian values or they got voted out. Those radio and TV stations that didn\u2019t support Christian values often died out due to lack of support. As\u00a0 a result, many people who had no church connection held Christian values at least in theory. However, the churches no longer teach Christian values and the parents no longer teach their kids. As a result they don\u2019t vote in politicians and school board members that support Christian values, they vote in politicians that feed their selfish greed. They also listen to radio and TV stations that don\u2019t hold Christian values and don\u2019t support stations that do. As a result, an increasing number of people don\u2019t hold Christian values even if they attend church.\u00a0 The result has been growing crime and violence. Many politicians claim the government can solve it but the fact is, the government has been responsible for much of the problem because of the politicians voted in. In addition, the schools have helped create the problem because of the school board members voted in. The radio and TV stations have also added to the problem because people support them. As society becomes more corrupt, the schools and media corrupt many of those growing up in Christian oriented homes.<\/p>\n
