Identify a claim made by Sasse and explain the reasoning underlying this claim

1. Consumerism as a way to please youth is wiping out American society. This is one of the complaints made by Sasse in The Vanishing American Adult, where he claims that young people (and the population at large) have based their achievements and achievements on material goods. Parents have influenced this, creating a population of young people who are empty in spirit and who will lead American society to grow without direction and positioning. 2. To support this claim Sasse provides details on how the country has not encouraged its children to have experiences, to conquer and to walk their paths, resisting consumerism and presenting the rewards of hard work. it also shows how spending time in another environment and away from parents can improve this concept of consumerism and hard work that has so failed in our society.
