Current Events/Pop Culture

Every action should be justified, so every action ever told in any song, any book, any magazine, movie, show, anything, was justified by someone. It is then our responsibility as the consumer of these things to decide for ouselves if the morals supported in our media are morals worth supporting. It is our responsibility to decide our own moral values, our standards of action and base our interpritations off of them. Teen adressed magazines are the best example of values that are highly questionable. When sex, drinking and social scenes surpass education, family values and personal respect, I believe there is a problem. It is an individual responsibility to every person on earth to decide what values are worth upholding. What we stand for is a representation of our character. What do we stand for when we spend hours pooring over the lives of the rich and famous? What do we stand for when we read more about their drinking and social interaction the we spend interracting? It is up to us to decide if these actions are correct, we need to understand that behind ever piece of writing, there is an author with their own moral compass. Often with values entirely different than our own.
