...but, as Canadians, we should all strive to protect Americans from themselves. As an aging boomer, childless as I am, I still feel responsible for the parents of my generation promoting the idea that every child had to be showered with praise for everything they did. This has now morphed into a multi-generational industry based on a deep socio-psychological need for a 'like' or a 'view'.

Blabbing about ones personal life has become an obsession and the tools of social media just make it easier.
