Voice.Idea.MyThought
We’ve become such a narcissistic, “me-first” society that common courtesies have gone right out the door – with a moral fiber that’s barely a thread. And while I’m hardly a religious zealot, I do think a large part of the problem is the secularization of our culture at the hands of the allegedly tolerant and compassionate “progressives.” We’ve taken God out of our schools and poke fun at religion; we devalue human life by condoning abortion and branding anyone who stands up for the unborn a woman-hating Neanderthal. Two-parent households are considered an anachronism; a woman who stays home with the kids instead of getting a job and relegating child rearing to day care is deemed lazy. We all but legalize a drug, marijuana, that takes away ambition and drive, and we attack anyone who’s successful and wealthy – regardless of how hard they work, or how many sacrifices they’ve made in life to get where they’re at. Government has become not an enabler of the private sector, but it’s a misguided Robin Hood, at the expense of personal responsibility – and personal values.
---Stephen Arnold
I agree with Stephen Arnold that our society has become a narcissistic one. It's clearly evident that our society gets outrage when a new idea or principle dethrones the old tradition . This is when traditions starts being questioned when a new one comes. With all the questioning, people who outdone the traditions are targeted. This is because it was dubbed as not the right to way to behave. Because after all, we're suppose to follow the society's principle right?
