As we all know that early men used to cover themselves with leaves .
WHY?
May be it was protection from weather a natural instinct to hide their bodies or (atleast ) specific parts that decide gender .
Why?
We left the jungle and moved into modern safe houses .
We divided our houses in portions because this is what civilization demands ,
Each portion is classified with it's part of job.
Why cannot we perform all the doings in one big hall?
Why Separate rooms ,such as Kitchen ,Bathroom , Bedroom?
Is this just care we do about cleanliness or management or there is something about DECENCY ?
Why a husband and wife shut the door of bedroom before getting into physical contact ?
Why they cannot not perform this very natural duty before their kids or family members in a same big hall?
Why we raised the hand to slap the kid but think hundred times to do so ?
Even we have reason to hit him ,we try not to.Why?
We liked to be called CIVILIZED PEOPLE so we dress appropriately, talk with sensibility and behave according to code of morality ,isn't it right ?
When i said "censorship" i meant,
TO KEEP BALANCE IN MEDIA'S DISPLAY OF DISTURBING STUFF THAT EFFECTS THE BASIC HUMAN BEHAVIOR OVER ALL
I wanted to say that unnecessary exposure of sex and violence on media is killing the
"CODE OF DECENCY THAT CLAIMS A CIVILIZED NATION"
Early exposure of sex brings sensational changes in the harmons of children and they feel motivated to early sex activation and gets early puberty .
Learning is most basic and most important instinct of humans.
When these innocent little brains watch such stuff over and over and all over they naturally consider it a NORM TO ADOPT.
Why in movies a psycho killer always appeared to be son of some cruel father or mentally disturbed mother?
Because he inherits what his parent had .
By watching horrible violence in games and movies
Although may be not every child will not be violent but this is not deniable that ,
" WATCHING CONSTANTLY KILLING AND USE OF WEAPONS unhesitatingly MAKES THEM FEEL THAT KILLING A PERSON IS NOT A BIG DEAL "
And if sometimes in life his aggression leads him to do so it is OKAY.
Today members of almost each family spent time with Media more than each other .
This is correct that it is up to us what we see and what not .
But Children don't have such strong will power to push away all the temptations that media offer.
Media has power to form our taste according to it's own benefit.
Like a clever businessman they try to SPICE UP their product without caring about health who use it.
They can change our mind by repeated pouring of stuff they want to be popular .
We should not let the media to decide our lifestyle .
Specially we should not follow the content that making us travel in DESCENDING ORDER.
As we are fond of being CIVILIZED aren't we?
Or we don't care anymore!
Wise.
ReplyDeleteHere in the USA they used to have a standards department for TV stations. They would not allow certain things on TV. It wasn't that long ago.
I like that meme. Well said on censorship.
ReplyDeleteThe debate about children being exposed to violence in the media is one that I remember going on when I was a child. It is astonishing that it is still going on. I suspect that it will continue for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people are spending too much Media time and not enough time with each other. Hopefully that trend will reverse itself.
Have a great day Baili!
You cover some very important territory in your post. Some people want to make very simple answers. The answers are very difficult and we've been dealing with the topics for a long , long time.It's good to bring up the topics and give your followers something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is up to parents to protect their children from what they feel is inappropriate. The parents also need to teach what is appropriate. If people no longer support those things that make them feel uncomfortable those things will disappear.
ReplyDeleteThe world is a odd place not perfect but it's all we have.
ReplyDeleteMerle.............
Unfortunately the standards in movies and television shows and video games have sunk to very low levels the last few decades. And it's not just children who start thinking these things are the norm. Plenty of adults have become desensitized to violence and other anti-social behavior through watching films and playing video games. I don't know the answers; I just know we need to keep trying to find them. Good post, baili. It's an important topic.
ReplyDeleteWe never did let our kids see any tv with sex or violence or other questionable stuff. What happens is the child will be desensitized to those things and became amoral.
ReplyDeleteAmoral means : "lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something." That would be wrong for parents to raise children like that but sadly it occurs all over the world.
Descending order as in "circling the drain."
ReplyDeleteChildren are being desensitized by violence and discouraged to have standards of conduct.
Almost as if an evil force has been rising...
Education, civility, is it so difficult?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
I like your descriptions here on this post. Well said.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts on this. You make some very interesting points.
ReplyDeleteHi, Baili! I think that parents should shelter their children from inappropriate things and provide them with love, attention, and security. They also need to provide their children with a moral foundation on which to build their lives. As the children get older it is important to teach them about the perils of the world and help them develop skills to handle the challenges they might face. It is not an easy world that our children are inheriting.
