Super Dads


In this YouTube we see a bunch of “super dads” playing with their children. In today’s society we sometimes forget about these great patriarchal individuals teaching proper ethics and morals. Today, it is all about the parents and families experiencing turmoil and unease. It is easy to get lost in these stories about parents hurting their children and neglecting them, so as a whole we have almost lost our sense of family and the connections we need to have as family as a society. The main thing to think about here is the obligation of proper parenting. When that duty isn’t met then something has to be done about it. We cannot get caught up as a society and as individuals about what others are doing, but what is best for our own family.


            This made me thing about the socially constructed problems that we are facing today. Parents are always worrying about the exposure to social media and different postings on the internet that could expose their children to content that they do not want them seeing, but the ironic thing is the parents give these children the access. Many of the people from older generations always ask what is wrong with my generation and the younger generation, but they are the ones that raised us. Society gives so much freedom to children with cell phones and electronic devices like laptops and tablets that it is impossible for them not to continue to stumble upon content that is meant for an older audience. Now, off of any device you can go onto vine or twitter and find videos of young kids fighting or swearing and being disrespectful. That alone blows my mind because if my parents would have ever seen me doing something like some of the content in videos on the internet, I would have been in for the punishment of my lifetime. It just is almost comical that society gives children a loaded gun and expects them not play around with it. So in conclusion I found this video extremely refreshing compared to all the other insane videos circulating the web and we need to reward all the “super dads” out there.
