The Crucial Role of Fathers in Today's Society Dr. McConkey emphasized that in an age where children grow up heavily influenced by social media, the father's role is more important than ever. He described fathers as foundational pillars needed to "rebuild America's backbone," stressing the importance of active, present fatherhood at both family and community levels. 2.

He suggested that engaged fathers help instill discipline, empathy, and service in their children-qualities that strengthen families and, by extension, American society.
