the answer is rewarding and valuing good cultural values and marginalizing and criticizing bad cultural values

this post-modern view that people are born as a blank slate and cultures are equal is the antithesis of what i said

I don't have the slightest clue how you make someone who doesn't care about their child care about their child.

now that is difficult, but if we marginalize the views that are so toxic in these relationships, it may help

having ignorant, uneducated people set in their ways act like they are on the same ground as successful people is just unworkable

Having a child, in theory, should be enough to make you want to do everything you can to give him/her opportunities in life. If you don't care, I don't see how someone can talk you into it.

the biggest problem is that a big reason why they create such a toxic situation is what i spoke of above

these people fully think they are right and people like you and me (and our values) are wrong
