To wonder what we do now that will be frowned upon in 30-40 years time

This video is a prime example of how attitudes change. It seems we go just go from stupid to stupid all the time.

Another example is passive smoking. Obviously stupid and horrible to think we just smoked freely inside, thinking it was fine to breathe in smoke.

Fossil fueled cars will likely be the next as will idling cars outside of schools but I wonder what else we'll be scratching our heads over in future.

Fairly certain this is already frowned upon…

Telling children they can be the opposite sex if they feel like they don't conform to bullshit gender stereotypes.
Sterilising children. Cutting off healthy breast of young girls. Allowing doctors to experiment on kids with puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and genital mutilation.
Letting rapists stay in women's prisons.

That kind of thing.

Social media. Hopefully

yes slapping your child. slapping someone else's child!

@Gingerkins we don’t need to discover the mental health impacts do we? That info is well and truly out there - esp post pandemic. I do think lock down has exasperated the problem and this will the the focus for a really big change in the way kids are brought up.

ave teen spends 9hrs a day on SM, facebook is increasingly citied in divorce cases …. anxiety levels increase significantly after 20min on app’s, depression is on the rise, body image is at an all time low…

Or it won’t change and there will be a rapid fall in to a dystopian crisis

What of the MH impact on someone who has been sexually assaulted when they discover that reporting it to the police would involve a truckload of minimization, victim-shaming and humiliation?
So the kid was slapped? He has to learn that women are not all objects. I bet he’s been watching non-stop porn that normalizes that kind of violence. He needs to learn that reality is quite different, and most women find a bum slap both offensive and painful. It’s not acceptable at all.

I think there will be far fewer boarding schools.

I think most people being full time permanent employees will be a thing of the past.

There's been such a huge shift to temp/ part time/ zero hours and self employed working.

felulageller I'm in two minds, either fewer/no boarding schools and reports of extended childcare being linked to the explosion of mental health issues in children, leading to nurseries etc being viewed in the same way OR the opposite, boarding to get a resurgence as children are already now are in 'wrap around care', this could develop to weekly boarding led by state boarding schools expanding.

I hope single-use and virgin plastic. So much potential to use bioplastic already and not in the greenwashing way it currently is. Look in the supermarket aisles for how few items have card trays in them instead of single-use plastic, the films could be bioplastic too.
