Kowinski’s article. Kowinski thinks malls have a bad influence on American kids because kids waste too much time in the malls doing unproductive activities. I agree with Kowinski that kids are harmed by the mall because it limits free thinking on different sets of values‚ opportunity to succeed‚ and learning from adults.
