The Modern Culture and Parenthood
Modern culture prioritizes short-term pleasure over long-term investment in parenthood, impacting the desire to have and raise children. Historically, cultures encouraged long-term thinking and investments for the future. Contraception has shifted the dynamics, making parenthood a less obvious choice for many. While some cultures still promote traditional values and long-term thinking, mainstream culture does not. This trend is leading to declining birth rates in some countries, which may have long-term societal implications.
