Hmmm....I think "pussification" could refer to fear of failure. So when someone doesn't succeed (in accordance to a set standard), they are not prepared to handle or accept that failure due to "excessive coddling" or "political correctness", lack or personal accountability and responsibility etc.
So when at a young age, over-anxious parents and others in charge are quick to declare "everyone a winner" out of fear of hurting kid's feelings, they actually make things worse down the line.
Something like that?
I think another example would be grade inflation. Ever see the kid who cries cause they get a "B+" or *gasp* an "A-"? C'mon, y'all know someone like that. So everyone gets either a "Pass" or "Fail" or some other silly way of evaluation. Then, by the time kids graduate college, no one can write properly still or perform simple math equations (I'm exaggerating to illustrate the point).
Interesting thread you started, tspikes51 We could go so many places with this topic.
