Well, our children do know what this industry is about, but they have a good grip on who they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
We have got to work on keeping these children engaged with the world.
I'll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world.
All around the world, we send our top talent into finance, technology, medicine and law - everywhere but towards expanding opportunity for our most marginalized children.
No matter how much control kids get over the media they watch, they are still utterly powerless when it comes to the manufacturing of brands. Even a consumer revolt merely reinforces one's role as a consumer, not an autonomous or creative being.
Now I don't know half of the young people in the industry. It's too spread out, too diffuse.
When you hear the party that glorified Occupy Wall Street blast success; when you hear them minimize the genius of the men and women who make jobs out of nothing, is that what you teach your children about work?
We need to prepare our kids for a 21st Century economy, and we're not doing it with our schools.
This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.
I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
