Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression and suicide are rising. How did this happen?
Eminent social psychologist Jonathan Haidt thinks the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education-ideas that are making it harder and harder for students to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life.
In this riveting lecture drawing from his New York Times bestselling book, Haidt will investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths.

I'm in my 20s and my dad still doesn't let me walk alone to the store or roam around town without his supervision. If all those people whom you made an example of in your talk are really mediocre and low quality people, then what does that make me?

I think SNS is a great platform for expression of free speech, and its existence if for you to express yourself virtually in a semi-realistic dimension without disturbing others as much as you do outside, say on school campus disturbing others from concentrating on learning or on the roads creating a long line of traffic and possibly stopping ambulances or fire tracks that are too far for protestors to see.

So you say the main problem is coddling kids and taking away their opportunities to tolerate pain, yet you want to deprive young girls of smart phones until they are 16 to protect them from mean girl society? You do realize that they will still be bullied and humiliated online whether they have a smart phone or not right? You're just making it worse by alienating them. How lame would you look as a sophomore in high school without any social media to stay connected with others outside of school?
