Sorry to say this, no offense meant for anybody, but I totally agree with a previous post about [American] mental fragility. I would extend the concept to embrace most of the [Anglo Saxon] countries. The [politically] correct mania and the idea that the individual has to be protected at all cost from any kind of hardness is simply not effective. It creates weak and fragile personalities. I smile to myself when I see a mother scold the daughter that is throwing the food around in a restaurant with these words: "Xxx, darling, I would ask you please to stop playing and finish your meal" (real fact, not something I invented). For sure this is a very gentle and polite way to express our disagreement but will have a devastating effect on the future ability of xxx in handling stressful situations. Being too hard is wrong but the opposite is even worse.
