Tough decisions when you are a parent

Yes, I'm asking you this.
You're saying a village used to help raise and now the community influences.
Are you assuming it's a negative influence and a positive to raise because the intensions have changed from the close village who vested interests in the next generation and the community who don't?

Close neighbourhoods can help contributing to the safety of the children - I grew up in such a small community. When my mother and father were at work, the other mothers mostly did the housework in their families and I was welcome to them for help or company. And if I did something wrong, I was told that too.

Any why can't the extended family be the definition now that was 'village' when the saying became a saying?

And I was very grateful for help when my children were disobedient - they would rather listen to other people than me.

Parents are obviously in the driving seat when it comes to raising their children, but they don't do so in isolation, but within the framework of the society in which they live. For example, a bad parent who encourages their child to smoke or take drugs would very quickly be visited by social services who would act in the child's best interest. - Even with good parents, the child will be nurtured by society as they grow, affecting their character and life choices.

And help raise them according to societal norms.

If a pair of identical twins were separated at birth and grew up in profoundly different societies would their shared nature negate the separate nurture they experienced?

in various studies...personality was 50/50 ,IQ 75% genetic.

That's interesting.
You don't have a link do you, I'd be interested in reading that
