Our Family Values Have Been Eroded for Indoctrination and Control.

---

Our family values is a concept used by politicians in elections to get votes and to divide the country. 

There has been a gradual erosion of the family structure by the elite in government and corporate America over the last few decades. 

The purpose of the devaluation of the family is to create a greater dependence on the government and corporations. 

With the family greatly weakened, people are turning in droves to the government and corporate media to fulfill the former functions of the family, particularly in terms of values clarification. 

Families are split, the authority of the parents is weakened and the children are turned over sooner to daycare and school. 

They are able to be indoctrinated at an earlier age and taught to not think independently, but to conform and be good citizens and workers. 

American families need to unplug from the anti family messages and take back control of defining our family values.

The Politics of Family Values

Our family values have become a tool used by politicians to convince voters the politician or party shares their values. This is done for one reason, to get votes. 

The change in the relationship between politics and family values began in the 1980s. 

The feminist and socialist movements had weakened the family, and the state began to take on a greater role in controlling, investigating and chip away at the privacy and autonomy of the family.

No Longer Relying on Each Other, but the State

Throughout history families have relied on each other for financial, emotional and physical security. 

In past times of social or economic hardship and during times of conflict, families joined together, supported and took care of each other.

This included providing food, shelter, elderly care and other needs. 

Gradually, the state began to take over these functions, often through schools and various social programs. 

Character education, values clarification and similar programs conveyed the values of society to the children, often without the knowledge or consent of the parents. 

Mothers and fathers went to work, or mom stayed home, but in either case, the school, the corporate media and advertising replaced the family as the source of values.

Culture, State and Corporate Advertising Define Values

Our family values used to be defined by the family, but that has changed in the past few decades. 

The media, corporate advertising and government programs taught in schools are defining the values of the children. 

They are indoctrinated as consumers from an early age and taught to value what is conveyed on television, for example, promiscuity over relationships, and spending over saving.
