Background
Processes associated with the modernization and the development of western industrial societies have led to a change in status for the aged. These created conditions which made possible the emphasis on the primary of the conjugal tie, at the expense of the filial bond.
Claim
All the forces of industrial society operate to make the child disrespect and have contempt for parental authority. The dislike of the young for everything old, including old people, has resulted in nothing but chaos, anarchy, disintegration and decadence, where not only the bonds between the young and old are destroyed but all kinship ties and human relationships in general have been weakened to breaking point.
