Career Women – The Violence Of Modern Jobs – A civilization, in order to survive, must be successfully transmitted from one generation to the next. Woman plays a very important role in this transmission. She is the first teacher of the child. In that sense, women have always provided the foundational support for civilization. The structure of our modern society would never have existed if not for the civilizing influence of women upon men.
Civilization is beginning to crumble rapidly, as crime increases and neighborhoods become nothing but a collection of strangers who do not take care of each other. Children are raising themselves and learning many things from their friends, television, movies, and even the internet, that parents should be appalled at. But since the foundation of our society has been removed, the trend of the “work-unparented” children continues and accelerates.
Gita warned us about this long ago: When irreligion is prominent in the family, O Krsna, the women of the family become polluted, and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vrsni, comes unwanted progeny (Bg 1.40). By the evil deeds of those who destroy the family tradition and thus give rise to unwanted children, all kinds of community projects and family welfare activities are devastated (Bg 1.42).
