Why cultures that lose their wiser elders get into trouble

Because they are missing guys like this...who talk the young ones down from doing stupid things and fighting over stupider things. Such as insults to your pride and hurt feelings being egged on by "false friends", which he calls out as such...

NSFW for the language.

He repeatedly points out that the false friends, who are taping, are laughing and smiling; for them, it's entertainment...And that the two protagonists should know: that's the stupidest reason to fight.

Calm, respectful, instructional words.

I think of this as the decisively anti-WorldStarHipHop video...

@SFOGuy False positive. This is not the type of serious brawl that occurs when there is a severe lack of parenting in a particular neighborhood.

The "wise elder" in the video is proof of this -- he wouldn't have been able to so easily break up a fight if your anthropological study were at all accurate. The kids know they're in the wrong. They just don't like being laughed at by their "friends".

I've also never heard of a culture where teenagers don't get into fights after school and where classmates don't use peer pressure to bully less aware students into fighting. This is a classic scene from countless middle class neighborhoods, white or black.

When their yuppie parents see this video, I can almost guarantee some asses will be red. Unless they're the kind of ultra liberal parents that don't believe in punishment -- then I may be inclined to agree with you in part.
