'Stranger danger' drive harms kids

What kind of society will such people make whose childhoods have been shaped by these conditions? Ripe for commercial exploitation of their leisure because they have a mild agoraphobia and so the free possibility of the parks or the great outdoors is suspect to them, in any case not brought up in such a way as to appreciate such things and addicted to the adrenaline highs of the video game. A society fragmented by the inability to relate to the unknown other -or at least a higher threshold of acceptance.

How does the gospel run in such a society?
