Women are outperforming males at every socio-economic level in American society. The spiritual question is why? At the same time, marriage is viewed as a socio-economic equal status union. Even though God designed marriage as a spiritual union between a male and a female, not as a socio-economic union: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1: 28). Instead of adhering to God’s spiritual command, individuals have been boldly attempting to subdue and have do minion over each other by instituting and even glorifying sexism, racism, and classism.
Therefore, far too many males have turned inward spiritually becoming lovers of themselves; without logically understanding that love is an inward expression of an outward reality. What a shame, because now we have untold societal confusion and social isolationism. The long and short of it all is that family is the basic unit of all societies. When the spiritual concept of family breaks down society begins to morally disintegrate. America has a self- esteem/ self-concept societal problem, and confusion disrupts relationships and society. Hence, self-esteem is both spiritual in nature as well as socioeconomically/institutionally conditioned by society. Hating each other undermines societal unity, integration, and productivity.
Hate engenders fear. Fear creates isolationism. The ultimate form of fear is fear of TRUTH. Fear elected Donald J. Trump to the Office of the President. Now, America is reaping the whirlwind of attempting to control the uncontrollable: fear. On the one hand, a wise Presidential leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt, said: “the only thing we have to fear is fear, itself ”. On the other hand, the Bible spiritually instructs us to know that: “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1: 7). Fear of the TRUTH is a dangerous lifestyle propositional habit. Additionally, we also know that a “know it all” is a fool, and: “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.” (Proverbs 14: 9). Twentyrst century males and females are increasingly becoming, spiritually, mentally, and socially isolated from each other, because of educational attainments, career ambitions, lifestyles, and social media obsessions. Sadly, only (30%) of graduating high school males are entering college as first-time freshmen and (58%) of females are entering college as first-time freshmen.
At the same time, the 21 st century workforce is becoming more educationally and technically skill oriented. Hence, manufacturing jobs require technical educational knowledge and skills, not just physi- cal labor. Machines and robots can perform most physical labor tasks. President Trump’s ultimate workforce objectives are to bring manufacturing jobs back to America, despite a lack of skilled workers, and production capacity. For example, (75%) of all the shoes produced in the world’s marketplace are produced in Viet Nam.
Therefore, will someone please tell President Trump that education levels, technical skills, knowledge affect workforce composition and capability, as well as production requirement capacity. Pipe-dreaming is an unhealthy socio-economic habit.
Amen!
