About the sense of duty and its absencetranslated

What to choose: take care of others or live carelessly? Irina Medvedeva, Tatyana Shishova

Some of the most frequently discussed topics in various parenting courses are teenage infantilism and freedom of choice. The sense of duty, which is directly related to infantilism, motivation, and freedom of choice, is either not talked about at all or is devalued. Moreover, actions committed out of a sense of duty often began to receive a negative interpretation and condemnation.

I liked how the authors mentioned that a sense of duty is now often seen as a bad thing. In our department, the older nurses stay because of him - they come on a day off, if necessary, because "there is no other way." And young people often say: "It's not mine, I have the right to live for myself." I wonder how this will manifest itself in their children later.
