It's strange the level of distrust in the west over institutions that the majority of the world find completely uncontroversial. It takes a village to raise a child, and in a world without villages families are the biggest support system most people have. I have a feeling this is another instance of the minority being louder than the majority.

America lost most of those villages that raise children and families with two parents decades ago.

Not even remotely true. And yes, as de-facto "management", most of the blame is on these "institutions".

Where in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, etc do they not value family highly? It's the traditional culture in most countries
