The Media

I am a mother, grandmother and an old lady, yet I don't think in most ways I am " old fashioned ".

However I do like  the " old fashioned "morals and family lifestyle"we once enjoyed in this country.

For example I am grateful for the Media we have,  but like my mother always said " there's a little bit of bad in the best of us and a little bit of good in the worst of us .

I think the Media has shown us the Worst" in it since the 1960s and 1970s.
Why ? because it has been most influential in eroding our moral and family life, by introducing the ideas that smoking is "cool" and alcohol makes life more fun and drugs, well " getting high is the best".
They have suggested that it is OK to have a baby if you are not married , and if you are married , being faithful to your mate is boring.
Not to mention that it is OK to take what you want that belongs to someone else. And if you don't like what someone looks like or what they do, just kill them !

As a result we have a society who feel "entitled " to what ever they want regardless if it's right or wrong.

Is it too late to turn things around ? I hope not, but again as I always say we have to teach our children when they are young and set an example for them to follow.

Being a parent is the most important responsibility there is and if we don't take that responsibility seriously and teach our children , then we are failing as parents and contributing to the decay of our society.

History has proven that it is the break down of morals and family life that has caused the destruction of great nations.

I wish the Media would turn around and use it's influence to encourage more family togetherness and better morals because those are the foundation of a strong nation.

But ultimately it is our responsibility as parents, grandparents and family members to teach our children.
