“What makes the attitudes of teenagers the way they are today vs. 30 years ago?”
This is the question I gave my husband Darin (Woody) after I explained the movie and some of the class studies thus far.

(Me) What is causing teens to act the way they do “these days”?
(Woody) They are disconnected from people older, younger and even their peers. (Me) Why do you think that is?
(Woody) Social media allows them to hide behind technology and not deal face to face (Me) Do you think family dynamics plays a role in teen’s attitudes today?
(Woody)When we were told to go watch TV, we went and were quiet whereas today children are dismissed and live within the confines of social media and a lot of parents have no idea how to check up on them (Me) Do you think social media will be the downfall of society as it progresses?

(Me) So ethically speaking do you think that Social Media should be more highly regulated? If so, How?
(Woody) It should be regulated but you still should have the freedom to
