Re: Has the West ruined families?
Anil,
at this point, what is west and what is east, you tell...
things are not as straight forward as we would have them be
we see the mtv, arabic, indian, latino and others entertainment media - what do we find
same immorality,
same materialism,
difference is in practicing it – in uncovering or covering it while doing it all
same sense of degradation from which the manufacturers and corporations benefit
yet the institutions of families and marriages seem to have fallen apart as crackled vases.
& to top it all off, the mockery, the snide ness, the greed, the corrupt affluence of a few and hunger and impoverishment of the masses.
political and economic hegemonies aside,
the cruel nature of the ills of social issues, are per mutational to no end.
& the slippery slope of denaturalized as is called living by 'alternative life styles' is nothing but getting slip -rier by all means.
however, being an optimist, i cannot discount a drop in a bucket worth of good as well.
anything that shows, the good in ourselves, our intentions, as multi cultural people with ethics and respect for life, god fearing ness, is the best to have and it should be acknowledged and the evil should be fought by even a little help one can generate or gain from a good support system. that's at least ho i see it.
and ultimately, it all comes down to: what one wants to live by - ethics or imitation of some learnt self and other/s/ destructive ways to damage the world we live in and the life forms, inhabiting it.
