The next generation seems to be in a worse position than our current generation and no one is doing a thing to stop it. All of the Hollywood stars on television get praised for being raging alcoholics or wearing skimpy clothing. If the media is praising these Hollywood screw ups then it is up to the parents of these young children to instill some values into their minds. Television and music have a huge effect on the world’s young population and when you turn either on, all you hear is sex, sex, drugs and more sex. How can we put this to an end? No matter how much we try to shelter our kids, they will eventually be exposed to all of the garbage that this world has to offer. We want to protect our kids but at the same time we want our kids to have lives, so where does a parent draw the line? There is absolutely no way that the next generation could get better with record companies producing music that degrade woman and glorify guns and drugs or television stations such as BET or MTV showing men and women drinking and having sex or women belittling themselves by prancing on stripper poles. If we want to better the next generation, then the current generation must begin to work for change now not later. We can not have violent movies and disgustingly thin women represent the image of what America is all about because then that will be what America is all about. This land is about Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that can not be achieved through drugs,sex and not eating. Those habits will leave our young depressed, hopeless and possibly teenage mothers and fathers. All in all in my opinion the next generation is only going to get worse and its hard to imagine seeing things get more vulgar than they are now. Parents of the future must act now to attempt to put all of this trash to an end and raise a respectable generation.
