The Sibling Society by Robert Bly

This work argues that currently people navigating a way from a discredited paternalist society to one where impulse is given its way. In this new society people don't bother to grow up - and are becoming half adults. Technology and affluence are creating a universal, one-dimensional society where everwhere eyes meet uniformity and likeness rather than distinction and difference - the same shopping malls, the same ubiquitous pop music - all across the globe. As this happens, so it becomes harder for parents to teach their children any kinds of values - and people are now all siblings.
