Conserving Tradition

The world around us today tries to distract, each new food, drug, and application, is meant to addict users. Technology consumes our lives, the 24 hour news cycle keeps us in a constant state of worry, the World Economic Forum wants us to “own nothing and be happy,” and American politicians want young people to forgo having a family and instead pursue a corporate career — while our birthrate plummets and illegal immigration skyrockets. The policies and culture in place tell young Americans that tradition is a thing of the past, that building a family and becoming a homemaker is old news.
