Society often judges men by the wrong value systems, for example, men are often valued solely for their financial contributions to the home. If a man does not provide financial support, he is seen as having no value. I think men offer much more than just financial support, as we provide guidance, instruction, and discipline for children, which are sorely needed in our homes. Men also offer gratification, fulfillment, protection, and many other important values. These contributions are often missing in our children's lives today, leading to many children being out of control in the streets, disrespectful, and having no regard for others. Many of us are scared of these children because we lack the means to connect with them and gain control. If we can raise better children, we will have a better society.
