Discipline in Youth

I'm seeing a lot of articles about children lately.
There's this one about Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, speaking out against explicit music videos. The article makes a good point about youth not really having the discipline to say they don't like these sort of displays. I don't know many teenagers who aren't sucked in to the 'nudity is cool and grown-up' mentality.
Then there's girl effect dot org. This site is riddled with fascinating statistics about how vital women and girls really are to a society. Females, on average, reinvest 90% of their income into their families, while males are at 30-40%.
This picture is a sweet reminder of the lives that are continuing amidst the wars. Children and families still live in these places, forced, I would imagine, to take sides on a daily basis. None the less, life goes on, no matter what is happening around you.
I'm wondering where my place in this world is, and how I might make it better.
