The Importance of Fatherhood

This is one of the best advertisements I have ever seen!  My best friend showed me this commercial and it really made me think.  "More than 79% of Americans feel 'the most significant family or social problem facing America is the physical absence of the father from the home.' Research shows that the lack of a father in the home correlates closely with crime, educational and emotional problems, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse.  In an effort to show dads the critical role they play in their children's lives, the Ad Council has partnered with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald to create a new PSA campaign that communicates to fathers that their presence is essential to their children's well-being. The campaign provides fathers with the information they need to become better dads."  I think this ad is great and teaches a wonderful lesson.  My dad means so much to me and I don't know what I would do if he wasn't such a great father figure.  He has always been there for me and has played a huge part in shaping who I am today.
