Today's society is changing a lot compared to the previous society every parent is thinking about the safety of their children. There are many bad people in the society who lead the children in bad ways so parents are forced to raise them alone. As earlier there was a joint family now everyone is transforming into a single family these are all the results of social evolution. Advances in science and technology have brought enormous financial prosperity to society.
The world has change now, a lot of things going on now which I don't know if to call it civilisation or something else. Young people are not ready to summit themselves to their parents to learn, it is not easy for some parents to care of their kids this days. The kind of kids we use during to have in the old days respect elders and are ready to take corrections but the kids this are very difficul, you don't even have any right to even correct them.

Today's society is changing a lot compared to the previous society every parent is thinking about the safety of their children. There are many bad people in the society who lead the children in bad ways so parents are forced to raise them alone. As earlier there was a joint family now everyone is transforming into a single family these are all the results of social evolution.

Historically, rural areas of yesteryears depicted a scenario of communalism. Everything was collectively owned by all the members of the community, except wives and children that were the preserves of each family. But the European colonialism in the African continent inadvertently brought their civilization and disrupted the social fabrics of the communal relationship, thus individualism and private ownership of property became the modus operandi during the colonial epoch.
Nevertheless, contemporary global capitalism has further provided the last straw that broke the Carmel back of African communalism. It has intensified such variables as; individualism, private ownership of property and class relationships. What previously belonged to all in the rural areas has come under social closure of individuals.
Therefore, rural communalism has faded away on the basis of current trends of technological innovation. The issue of a child being corrected by another person out side the family lineage has gone into abeyance and could not be resurrected anymore.

Well the points you stated here are quite convincing enough but look at the negative aspects too, back then you see inter-family disputes here and there, this family won't talk to the members of the other family either because the wives had a misunderstanding or the husbands of each family are in loggerheads, the duo will each tell their household to never set foot on the other house and this sometimes grows into generational problems.
Today, thanks to civilization it's now very rare to have these cases because every family is incharge of only their family and dare not meddle in the affairs if the other family.

I think it just depends on where you are. I still see this kind of community from where I live in and even though we are not exactly friends, we can always depend on our neighbors. I always say that there is nothing like home. What we have as a community is beautiful and can never be replicated. People are not all selfish and some still help each other when in need.
I still believe in the beauty of a community and how it helps us shape our personalities. I also grew up in a big family where even neighbors would come and greet me as a child. I think the culture is still lived and preserved. For those who do not see this anymore, maybe your country or wherever you are has been consumed by deep capitalism. Everyone is on it for themselves and money. Greed seems to be what is at the very center of a lot of people's hearts.

when we are growing up. we use to have men that always seat in front of their house in the evening either reading newspaper or listening to news with their small transistor radio. there was no small child they can not discipline. some will see you with a ball and started asking about your academic performance.
if they seize your ball, just go home because play have finish that particular day. and if they flog you, you dare not let your parents know. because it means that you have done bad thing, and your parents fit give you additional flogging.
then, it took a community to raise a child. but now everyone is minding his or her business by building houses with fence. this men were either retired teachers or railway personnel's. we need a return of those days, it was more peaceful and sweet. and then, there was no muche crime then to compare now and the whole community was living like a family.
Can we go back to those days, and how possible is it ?

It's still possible if you start following the way of the warrior. Ask me for details if you are truly interested to know the way.
Those days were simpler, right? But times have really changed. It's true, privacy and individualism have become bigger priorities now, and technology has played a big role in that. While going back might not be totally possible, what we can do is find a balance between the old ways and the new. Let's remember the good parts of those days and also adapt to the present reality. It's all about nurturing a healthy and caring environment for our kids.
Sure privacy and technology has more effect on this, this day even our fathers has smart phones instead of going to either the newspaper stand or buying it to delivered to their house they will be preferring reading this news through their phones which is the trending technology things has change and we don't expect things to continue to be the way they were those days, the dark age has gone, we can't continue to be in the dark, the human race has to move ahead, no matter what technology that effect has done more good than harm, though we can never dispute the fact that tg dark age had its own benefits but these days is better.
Hmmm, i can still remember that good old days when dicipline was the other of the day, anyone can dicipline a child if he or she messed up, but now, almost all the teenagers have already eaten the forbidden fruit, so things have changed, and our society isn't as safe as before, people are focusing more on security base on how unsafe the society is now.
I think the old day was really a memorable one, things was easy unlike today. The difference between that time and now is civilisation, this have really changed the life of the present youths and want thing I discovered is that the parents we have now are different from the parents we have now, parents were hard on their children which made them to be discipline buy the parents we have now compromise, they do things to please their children all the time. 
No, we can’t go back to those days as the world has evolved pass that time that all this were normal in the town unlike now. People are more security conscious and value their privacy more than anything else. Not that the former ways were bad, but as the world has evolved, there was a need to also adjust to that way of life in order not be left behind or unsecured in the current world. This use to happen in the past most especially in villages where building of fence to cover houses was not even recognised then. But today, even in villages, people don’t leave themselves open outside to the public, they are now also building fence to cover houses.
then, it took a community to raise a child. but now everyone is minding his or her business by building houses with fence. this men were either retired teachers or railway personnel's. we need a return of those days, it was more peaceful and sweet. and then, there was no muche crime then to compare now and the whole community was living like a family.

What makes you think going back will help matters now, judging from the pasts I believed everyone loved that process but have you ever asked yourself why those men stopped scolding kids with bad behavior or they just felt like stopping, I'm not in the right position to even judge people living their life in private cause seeing how the world is wicked everyone should choose to mind their business, even when those men you mentioned try to scold a child for bad behavior the person might end up fighting the parent of the child, not every parents wants this for their kids they insist on handling them by them self, even then with the scolding and flogging from older men kids will still choose to behave arrogant cause any punishment coming outside children will hardly change, if you think going back can help matters that's your opinion.

I hope you understand what you are writing and what is the real big thing about all these things you have explained. If you needed to experience some for the things that happens past years, then you will need to go back to 1990s so that you can have a feel of what is happening and have the kind of fun you are looking for. There is not impressive with the past lifestyle and this time around is more better than past years when there is no well concise development. if they seize your ball, just go home because play have finish that particular day. and if they flog you, you dare not let your parents know. because it means that you have done bad thing, and your parents fit give you additional flogging.

Teenager now believe and act that they more than even the parent's that give birth to them and can and will not take correction or advice from any adult in the neighbourhood and if things doesn't change a lot of them are going to kiss out of the most important thing and lesson they need to learn at that age, but even this have been worsened because of the level of security challenges that we are faced with in this time and the economic challenges of this time have contributed to the high rate of generations in both adults and teenagers. Security is a other aspect that have also contributed to the high privacy demands of the time and what we stand to face at all time, because majority of the cases of insecurity rises from the negligence of the most important things in life which is the fundamental lessons that children need to learn at early stage ofthey life.
we find that kids are more invested in the latest trend or swag than they are in learning something worthwhile.
i would say that trends have always been a thing that kids or youngsters follow in the last 3 or 4 decades where pop culture has emerged it has also increased the popularity of trends i think that in every generation the older one will always have something to say about the new ones we are already seeing it with millennials when it was them who was getting picked on by the older generation before them
Actually pop culture or music didn't contribute anything in isolation to modernity. It is change that has affected all areas of human life. Things will keep changing as boys become men while men become elders with wisdom to pass down knowledge from experience. Things have changed and no doubt about that which is the reason that so many kids follow the current trend of social media against the idea of parents who have more experience than those kids.

Those where those days when we used to have genuine love for one and other but this time things have really changed. Those days children don't get scolded by their parents alone , everyone in the neighbourhood are responsible in bringing the child up . Then was a time that members of extended family do have pure love for one another, cousins lives like blood siblings from the same parents but this days everything has really changed. Nobody cares again, I think because of how things are difficult everyone just focusing on themselves and their own family.
Does not makes sense to you people have become more selfish for the sake of their own self preservation and the preservation or their family? Because to me it makes sense. It has been demonstrated that during harsh economical and political times people cannot longer to take care of their extended family or those in their neighborhood, so they resort to only using their resources on their immediate family.
Also, that previous way of life or scenario you describe does not sound like something I have personally lived myself even when I was a child, so you must be from a very different culture/country from mine or there must be a very marked age gap between us.
It must be one of the reasons people resort to find some church or religious group to join, since we have lost much of the care and love for one another, they try to find what has been lost in faith. Nothing wrong about it, though. I have actually seen people of the Islamic faith treating one another as brothers and avoiding to mistreat their neighbors.

Your narrative sounds like that of an African setting, although I wouldn't know if it's so in other parts of the world, but this is the way I remember it while growing up. Anybody from the community can discipline a child and the parents wouldn't take offense, even when you as a kid complains, your parents will tell you that you must have done something wrong for an elderly to discipline you. Then moral and trust was the order of the day.
Fast forward to present day, upbringing of children is solely the responsibility of the parents, and you can't blame them because wickedness has increased. Child abuse is on the increase, so I won't be comfortable for another person to discipline my children, they might out of jealousy for my success try to harm my family. I'd rather prefer family and friends to report any bad behavior of my kids and let me to do the discipline by myself. Besides kids are more exposed now than in years back, because one way or another they're exposed to the internet, you only need to ask Google any questions and it'll be obliged to give you answers, whether you're an adult or not.
So we'll have to disconnect the internet to go back to the good old days, but you and I know that is not possible.

Missing those sweet old days, when "Obi was a boy" and "Ada is a girl". Those memories are still in our minds but very unfortunate that we can't experience or see them happening.
The act of science and technology, corruption and privacy has significantly over shadowed those old sweet days.
Everyone now is trying their very possible best to protect and keep their family safe as per not knowing who is happy with your progress and wishes well for you. So as the world is developing into something we never planned for, we aswell need to follow the trend so as not to be left out and regret at the very end.

I wasn't born then but I know life was a bit easier then because people had less worries for crime though it existed but was very minimal. life then was focused on education as the only was to success that is why those men really ask for academic performance when conversing with children, white and blue collar jobs where the best jobs to attend and it was with educational performance but now evolution has change alot of things people now are afraid of each other for safety.
Discipline was the paramount duty of everyone not only ones parents.
what I believe is that the earth revolves and everything lives in a cycle and supporting my believe with the stories of how humans lived I know that it will get to a stage where life will return back to it's original state believe it or not it will. it may not be in our generation or next.

IMO, each different stage will have contextual circumstances for people to adapt to it, the will to overcome life circumstances or accept it is up to us to decide. So, ignoring the story of the circumstances that pushed us into difficult situations, what is the determination that we are showing? I myself was born into a family where I always feel proud and grateful, even though I receive many judgments from society, but that only motivates me personally to try to find the truth of my life. In life, the country I live in also has to go through many wars to be able to maintain peace. And the generation of people who have sacrificed their lives to preserve our country always remembers that gratitude, which is not only expressed through thoughts but also actions by living responsibly for this life. Each person's mission and lessons may be different, but in general, if you throw away personal interests and live to serve society, that is the return that I believe is the most concrete way to express gratitude.
As time goes by, these things slowly fade away and newer things replace them. I'm not saying technology is bad entirely but you'd agree with me that while it has where it's helping humans, there are also areas where it's causing much harm. Children no longer know who an elder is because most of them were not really given the basic home training by their parents. Learning comes not just from reading something new but also from association but these days we find that kids are more invested in the latest trend or swag than they are in learning something worthwhile.
One thing that is certain is, we can't restore the world back to the old days so the best thing is to just flow with the tide.
One thing that is certain is, we can't restore the world back to the old days so the best thing is to just flow with the tide.
Times change & a lot of the time it’s not for the better. We all have the choice to live how we want to but sometimes it seems we have no choice but to go with trend, otherwise we risk making our kids different to their peers which will not help them in growing up.
This is the other side of the serious negative impact of technology on the society at large. Children don't even enjoy the experience of their childhood because they are mostly locked up inside their apartment after school and the closest friend and neighbour mist of them have is the tv. If you've stayed in some residential areas, you will be amazed at how people will be staying together in the same environment without knowing their names. everyone is focusing on his or her a child and if you try to correct another child, it might land you in big trouble.
Truly, a lot has change about children's upbringing.
Truly, a lot has change about children's upbringing.
That was primitive society. However it caused problem many at times if you discipline another child. Some parent do react. Children has caused so much problem between families.
I have listened a LGBT person talking about those times as well, and how homophobia was blatant, which was true. We could argue that old times were always better but we need to also remember our experience was not the same for all people living through those years.
It is very possible those times won't ever come back, but rather than living in the past, we must build an even better future.
We can't say that any era was better than the other because they had advantages or disadvantages that came with them. In the past, young people had a slow knowledge base and therefore they lacked financial prudence and freedom, wealth was only concentrated in the hands of adult working class but now it is not the same with the advent of computer, internet and now digital currency age. Young people are ruling this age from tech, social media, security etc. Investment advantages are all over both for employed and non employed despite the argument that those days had more serene and tranquil environment with no ozone depletion, gas flaring, environmental degradation etc.
Indeed times have changed and society has evolved and we have to change along with the circumstances irrespective of what it feels oritst divergence from the old ways and practices.
Also with the coming of the internet, the world has become a global village with a lot of activities that can help improve the knowledge of our kids even at an early stage, so nowadays, children don't go to the playground anymore, but rather they can spend that time in learning new things online from the comfort of their home and parents this day spend more time with their kids more than those in the olden days
Socialization has many components, one of which is the family where the child develops, and the child lacks the education he needs to adapt to his later environment.
If children have a hard childhood, then as they grow up, the childhood pains awaken in them, and they cry and help them learn many things and many times they fail.
Due to many obstacles in children's childhood, when they grow up to do many things, the causes of disappointment in life cling behind them, due to which they have to face many problems when they move forward.That is why the socialization of every child is very important and through the watchful rain of parents, children can be taken forward, and the future generation can be enlightened.
In today's developed society, people have forgotten to live together, like those who are living separately, as a result of which children can no longer play as they used to, they have to live indoors as a result of their intellectual development.
At present, the problem of child development is being created for a single family, so it is very important to live in a joint family
It is possible to bring children back from the glory of loss by helping them in their proper socialization process by helping them to develop properly and conveying golden glory.

Comparing the present situation with the past situation can never match. I understand your desire for every child to be able to be raised by their parents behind safe walls. Children are the most kidnapped children (all parents want to keep their children safe) so you remember. Today's society is changing, people's creativity is increasing and people are tolerant and ready to increase efficiency. Remembering my own childhood brings me to tears. In the past there were many single families but in the present time it is not noticed so you must change your goal. Because with the change of time, people are also changing a lot, it must be accepted.

Technology moving forward is something one cannot change and actually, even older generations could argue that their times were better even though they did not even have access to Television or to a personal vehicle as our parents did.
Of course, it is expected those who are young can be more skillful with technology they have grown up with it, after all, others who did not are supposed to learn how to use it in their 30s-50s, so they can keep up with the pace of modern society.
I have een many examples of it in college, how teachers of certain age struggle to use tools like Telegram or Zoom.
It's possible when people realize that this age is no longer the kind of type that they wanna live. I think that I am in one of the best eras in life where I was able to see the old times and as well as the digital age. Life was truly simpler before and it was the best feeling, it makes me cry when I remember those days especially kid's days where I don't have to think of responsibilities and bills. Everything is just there and you just have to live and survive and have something to eat, that's it. But today, with the golden age of the digital era, things have been set as a standard like you have to be successful and be an achiever. Anyway, that's their description of life and success but you know that everyone who's giving the precious moments on those old glory days are also successful people for their own thoughts.
Can we go back to those days, and how possible is it ?
The world has changed from that, and society has moved into the era where privacy and minding your business is important. Presently you have no right to scold a child who is not your child, there is even a level to which you can scold your child. The world was not also as terrible as it is today, so then people did not care much about the information that their neighbors had about them and were happy living together communally. The world has changed and there is lesser trust for other people nowadays, communal living is no longer a system and people are encouraged to keep their business to themselves. People no longer even have that time. when we are growing up. we use to have men that always seat in front of their house in the evening either reading newspaper or listening to news with their small transistor radio. there was no small child they can not discipline. some will see you with a ball and started asking about your academic performance.

This always was an illusion. While this was going on in some parts of the world, other parts were in war, were killing babies through abortion by the millions, were defrauding each other in big ways and small, etc. But even if none of this bad stuff had been happening, people were still dying of old age.
So, what's the purpose of the whole thing of life? We come to life, we live anywhere from only zero to (in a very few cases) 120, and then we die. We take our ideals along with us in death. But even if we pass them on to our children, even the children and their children all die.
What's it all about? What's it all for? The big WHY?

I kind of remember those days, I grew up in a relatively small community where people still did not have access to internet. Those were the times if you wanted to watch a movie or play a videogame, you were supposed to go to the only renting place in town and get a VHS for that night.
Those were very good times, that is true, but our own opinions are biased because we all had our positive experiences.

The world has moved to a civilised form compared to then days. As I was reading your post I smiled because I could remember that then,everyone is watching you closely to correct you on any mistake that you do,especially when you are mannerless,they will help put some manners into you.
Presently,the evil in the world has stolen that unity and love for each other in the society. You will see people with high fences round their houses because they don't want anybody to intrude into their privacy or come home and notice that a stranger beat up their children. It is impossible to go back to such lives because those elderly ones who were more devoted to see that children have good morals and behaves well might have pass on to the other world. Technology has changed so many things and has increased the level of immorality in the world.

Going back to those old sweet glory days is practically hard because the today society is focus on promoting immorality from the so called influential ones or the rich ones as been endorse by the government. So the boy and girl child grow up to adopt some attitude that ordinarily at their age the are suppose not to attain.
Morals are not taught by parents to children anymore, and everybody focus on orientating their children alone which they think is the best way of developing a child to a better standard of good morals.

then, it took a community to raise a child. but now everyone is minding his or her business by building houses with fence. this men were either retired teachers or railway personnel's. we need a return of those days, it was more peaceful and sweet. and then, there was no muche crime then to compare now and the whole community was living like a family.
Can we go back to those days, and how possible is it ?
That was when raising a child was community effort and not solely a parent thing but those days are gone and I'm not sure they will come back because they have been taken over by different events. For example the family has move from being an extended family/compound to a nuclear home. Privacy is now the other of the day, back then you can tell what a family is known for, where the father works or retirees as you said and the mother is predominantly a house wife, you can see that has changed long time ago.
Again about privacy, nobody wants you to have a clue on what he is doing, earning etc. The digital space have created opportunity for people to build their finance without support from family members and that makes individualism to increase and secluded lifestyle because you don't owe allegence anymore to those "big uncles ". However the government has to do more these days to fight insecurity which is the effect of urbanization.
I still believe that maintaining privacy but with high moral regards for others in the environment is what is needed for a series, secure society, This is preferable compared to the old communal living, I understand your plight on the need for the general discipline of the child, but also note that lately things are changing and with the rising cases of child abuse a lot of parents prefers to raise their kids within the surrounding of the secured environment where they can keep an eye on the children.
Society is changing and we can't compare the present time with the old days were the level of communal living was high and families mostly lived together compared to now where there is a gap in the line between families and at that sometimes you may not even know your next door neighbour.

when we are growing up. we use to have men that always seat in front of their house in the evening either reading newspaper or listening to news with their small transistor radio. there was no small child they can not discipline. some will see you with a ball and started asking about your academic performance.
if they seize your ball, just go home because play have finish that particular day. and if they flog you, you dare not let your parents know. because it means that you have done bad thing, and your parents fit give you additional flogging.
