Much of today's entertainment is detrimental to
the young generation: the coarseness, foul language, degrading depictions and
words, the propensity for bullying and aggression, and the outright disrespect
for anybody perceived as lesser, inferior, or not belonging, though innocent as
a flower. This is what goes for much of youth entertainment, or entertainment
in general for that matter, and then we have the gall to wonder why civil
society is in a tailspin. Traditions have been lost. It used to be that
parents and adults wouldn't tolerate foul language from youngsters, tawdry
entertainment across the board would be banned for minors, and ethics and
morality played an integral part in our schools. Not anymore in this anything
goes/"whatever" society that has been fostered by negativism, cynicism and
apathy. Until we can return back to our best traditions, a general
coarseness and non-civility may well continue to be an albatross around our
nation.
Traditions and a sentimental possession: great memories, lost dreams, but they can rise, again.
Post-script: I recovered my great possession, today, March 19, 2015, which was written about more thoroughly in the pre-revision post!
