8.2.2 So why all the problems


So why do these social problems arise in the so-called ‘civilised’ surroundings in which we live? The reasons for this are twofold :

The organisation of the social system :

Have you ever looked at children’s TV programmes, like ‘Neighbours’ and ‘Eastenders’? Or have you glanced at the teenage magazines your daughter or little sister brings home with her every week? This type of media provides role models for your children and sets the trend as to how everyday life should really be. They frequently portray the kind of social issues mentioned above - they are filled with boyfriends, girlfriends, lesbians and adulterers!.

But more importantly, the fact that these are freely available on the airwaves or in your local newsagents reflects an underlying government policy that tends towards liberalism and licentiousness. According to British law, homosexuality, adultery and one night sexual relationships are perfectly legal. Is it any wonder that so many youngsters follow in the same footsteps?

Lack of parental responsibility :

Of course, you cannot blame only society for the shortcomings of a generation of wayward youth. The parents are just as much to blame.

After all, if the parents themselves take their values from the same environment, what do you expect they will teach to their children?

Fundamentally, both of these issues arise from the same source, that is, the mentality of freedom. Under the guise of ‘freedom’ people are subjugated to their own whims and desires. The politicians legislate laws to govern over you on the basis of their own preferences. With so many members of the cabinet being self-confessed adulterers, how confident do you feel that the way they run your affairs and build the society around you will be suitable for your son or daughter to grow up in?

As well, with freedom comes lack of responsibility. If a parent really believes in freedom, what stops him or her from abusing or neglecting their children? The answer is, very little.

What is worse, is that the whole process works both ways. A child will act according to the values and ideas he has been brought up with. Thus, more often than not, children of the West disrespect and disobey their parents. And the same selfish mentality that motivates them to do this, is the reason why you might find yourself stuck in an old people’s home just when you need their support...
