The Demise of Guys (Philip Zimbardo)

Issues with young men today:

  • Refusing responsibilities
  • Not seeking to be breadwinners
  • Idle time spent unwisely
  • Growing up in isolation (time spent gaming)
  • No role models (fatherlessness)
  • Learning about sex from pornography
  • Exposure to video games at a young age changes brain
  • Not seeking post-secondary educations
What to do:

  • Positive role models
  • Having conversations about healthy sex
  • Monitoring leisure time, emphasizing recreational activities and social experiences
