We are living in a time of unprecedented progress in terms of human development. For example, an iPhone, with all of the free apps accessible through it, would be worth $900,000 in the 1980s. Additionally, a device with the computational capabilities of the iPad would have been worth $32 million in 1985. People of differing socio-economic levels have access to so much. The poorest Americans have more than the richest men in the world had just 100 years ago. However, with great progress does come great challenges.
We do have income inequality gaps, corruption, and high levels of dissatisfaction. I submit that strengthening family ties is key to embracing the abundance, and surmounting our millennial challenges. Studies show that education is the single differentiating factor between those in the top 10% of American society and those in the bottom 90% of society. Furthermore, it was found that those who come from strong families with high moral values were more likely to achieve higher levels of education, and therefore higher levels of prosperity. Thus, strengthening families is key to closing income gaps.
Moreover, if economic inequality and unemlpoyment are the biggest causes of domestic violence, then strong families are a key to peace as well. Again, as stated above, people who come from strong families with high moral values are more likely to achieve higher levels of education and higher incomes.
We need to stop occupying Wall Street, We need to go Home, and "Put everything we do outside of the home in subjection to what we do inside the home" (M. Russel Ballard). I promise that in order to make a better world for all in this century, the Revolution must begin in the Home.
