False praise or building self esteem?

Read an interesting opinion piece today about some of the current, politically correct methods of parenting and their inherent problems.

"Political correctness has spawned a devolved subset of society filled with crybabies, outcasts, outlaws and victims. Too many people no longer take responsibility for their behavior. It's much easier to let someone else or the government bail them out. They'll tell you they're not getting what they deserve, but they don't do anything worthwhile to deserve what they want. They think they deserve what they want because they exist. In a cosmic sense, that may be true, but that's not the way life on this planet works."
I'm not sure that I agree with everything this writer states, but he does make many good points and spurs some interesting consideration. Read the article for yourself. What are your thoughts?
