America is a nation fundamentally ambivalent about its children, often afraid of its children, and frequently punitive toward its children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.
There's something in this country that is so opposed to understanding the complexity of children.
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
America stands as a beacon of hope and the possibility of a better life - but it is also a nation where nearly 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
America, in all its institutions, whether it be the family or government, has forgotten and neglected its children.
Grown-ups are afraid for children. It's not children who are afraid.
The issue I have always felt most strongly about is hunger in America, in particular the children.
It's shameful what's happening in this country in terms of what we deny our children.
It is quite time that our children were taught a little more about their country, for shame's sake.
The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.
