, societies of materialists, individualists and hedonists . Societies that forge values ​​as negative as the need to obtain an immediate reward, in which the effort is not valued and we are not able to withstand the discomfort that can mean knowing how to delay the rewards.- Loss of school and family authority:Family and school we are losing the ability to educate, we feel disoriented, overwhelmed and lost to the new challenges that we are supposed to teach, guide and guide our children.
