On the Lighter Side Part 3

By Grace Peterson @GracePeterson3
SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN I was in therapy, I remember asking my doctor about family dynamics during the 1960s. Specifically, I wanted to know how children were regarded by their parents. Were they loved, nurtured, listened to? Or were they told to shut up and go away? I knew my concept was sullied by my reality. In order to give humanity a fair shake, I needed to wrap my mind around what was normal--how healthy families related to each other.

My doctor told me that although there were exceptions, most families got along well together. Fathers loved their kids and were kind and nurturing. I am still have trouble believing this.
While older people often complain that things aren't like they used to be, I for one think things have improved dramatically in the past few decades. In fact I'll venture to say that it's not just a figment of my imagination that human interaction has improved since those bygone years.
For example, take American advertising. If you've visited Cynthia's Do I Offend? website, you've witnessed the worst that clever advertisers had to offer to their prospective customers. Here's an example:
 
Or how about this one:

So see. Things have come a long way. We're more concerned with people's feelings now. If nothing else. Visit Do I Offend? to see further enlightened, or offended. What do you think?
