Remember the days when life was simple and things didn't matter. Now, as each second ticks by, the societies we occupy seem to overflow that little bit more with a needless desire to embrace
the foul, sesspits that material life has to offer. Our grooming and desensitization from the negative trinkets of the world is unpraralleled, some say that history repeats itself and this for sure a certainty.We are now back to the Babylonian days where the most undesirable things became the overwhelming desire for the populus. 100 years ago, nudity, drunkeness, ludeness and the likes was frowned upon, yet here we are today. Now further advanced in our technological innovations, man seems to have advanced so far yet for some oxymoronic reason, regressed even further and with our freshly aquired ego and knowledge, we are suffering from an accute deteriaration of goodness.
The state of our children is simply a reflection of the adults and the society they develop and grow in. A child is a blank canvase and only develops and grows according to the inputs it receives from it's surroundings, this is a simple sociological fact. So we ask why are the children wanting to do drugs, drink booze, have promiscuous sex, and all these things? It is quite simple, their education, their friends, their examples and their society are all bias toward these things.
Then is it any surprise that in 2007 in the mighty US of A, over 90,427 reported rapes occurred and more than 1,408,337 violent crimes took place? These are staggering numbers for the most 'free and advanced' nation in the world. These number by the way are taken from http://www.fbi.gov and not made up :)
If you watch the TV, read a newspaper or even walk down the street today you are bombarded with images of half-nude women advertising coca-cola, men and women dressed as if they are auditioning for a porn movie, reality TV shows where misguided celebrities (who are the role models for our youth) talk about their sordid sexual relations, drink and drug binges and the likes, it is of little surprise when your little Tommy comes home stoned and Tabatha comes home pregnant.
Children simply mimic the peers they have and when the society as a whole is obsessed with football, drinking and drugs, partying and 'living it up', what else can we expect to happen to them, they will simply do the same. The ironic fact is that the majority of people don't really care about this problem until it hits home, and when it does they blame the junkies, the prostitutes and the governments lack of involvement for their childs impoverished state. The reality is, however, that it is none of these things that have caused the problem, it is simply a case misguided education.
An example of this is many of the young guys I know. I asked some of them if sleeping around with girls was something that should be abandoned and replaced with a 'marriage first' institution like in Islam and Christianity, etc. The overwhelming response was 'um, no', sleeping around was fun and cool and religion had no practicle implementation.
I then asked the same people what they would think if their daughter was the target of guys thinking how you were today, seeing her as a piece of meat to sleep with for one night and then forget about. The honest ones were outraged at this suggestion and for some reason stated that sleeping around was no longer ok in this situation.... Double standards?
It is wierd how things change when, as I said, when it comes home.
Education starts with and ends with the parents, and if they are misguided then I ask what hope is there?
"Children as young as 12 are being treated in a new specialist addiction unit set up to deal with those hooked on alcohol and drugs.
The Priory hospital, which is famous for its celebrity patients, set up the unit to meet what it says is mounting demand from worried parents. The unit, based at its acute psychiatric hospital in north London, will deal with drug and alcohol problems, eating disorders and behavioural issues such as an obsession with the internet or computer games."
