Missing Elements!

 There are four essential elements of culture that were compromised cumulative and collectively in the described moving from the farms to the suburban and urban areas. These factors that now are missing to a significant degree in our culture are: networks, meaningful roles, on-the-job training for life, parenting resources. The networks are essential to the human social functioning, and the simplest of all networks is the friendship, sometimes the absence of a networks the   human behavior learn to create substitutes for those that originally occurred spontaneously, this mean that a laugh produced by a joke between friends, now the children looking for a video in youtube and laugh, and in this way he find a substitute to producer of a laugh. Meaningful roles, this factor is in part responsibility fro the parents, because we need to deal with our young people actively in ways that cause them to believe they are significant contributors rather than just objects or passive recipients of our activities. The on-the-job training for life includes increasingly complex lessons in patience, self-discipline, deferred gratification, personal initiative, sacrifice, and hard work.
The absence of this factors also are affecting in some degree to our youth groups, the usage in excess of social media, sexting and problems related to the behavior of the children are things that could drag away our children of the spiritual growth.
