Review the following videos and paper:
- Victor Vieth (1:04:34)
- NCPTC: Ending Child Abuse in Three Generations (10:57)
- Unto the Third Generation: A Call to End Child Abuse in the United States within 120 Years
Provide your thoughts on the following:
- Do you believe Vieth's plan to end child abuse is achievable?
- What do you see as the most challenging part of his plan to end child abuse (what will be the most difficult individual piece to implement)?
- Would you agree that the child abuse epidemic was caused in part by social attitudes toward this issue (during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries)? Think about the evolution of child abuse as a social issue and compare it with other social issues that required a major movement to create change. Does this issue seem to be lagging behind the change evolution? Why might that be? What can be done about it?
