Furthermore, the younger members of our society have for some timebeen in growing rebellion against paternal authority and the paternalstate. For one reason, the home in an industrial society is chiefly adormitory, and the father does not work there, with the result that wifeand children have no part in his vocation. He is just a character whobrings in money, and after working hours he is supposed to forget abouthis job and have fun. Novels, magazines, television, and popularcartoons therefore portray "Dad" as an incompetent clown. And theimage has some truth in it because Dad has fallen for the hoax that workis simply something you do to make money, and with money you canget anything you want.
