The documentary, How the Modern World Makes Us Mentally Ill by Dr. Jonathan Haidt, talks to us about relevant issues that affect our lives today. It focuses on the internet’s impact on millennials and those born as Gen Z. It also talks about the shift that technology has taken in such a short time that it affected the growing up years of children.
The video sends a powerful message in understanding how modern society makes us mentally ill and how the children are affected by internet applications. It also demonstrated how differently children are raised today with their concepts of social acceptance. Given the factors discussed, the documentary ends with a call to have children experience things.
The value of experiential learning is given a lot of weight in this video. It is a great opportunity for parents and children to watch this and learn from a scientific approach. This way, it will be better for them to realize the value of experience in the critical years of today’s generation.
