singlesteve: well i think definatly we are all being brain washed bye the worlds influences ,such as media and hollywood.our eyes and ears garbade in garbade out simple
in 1955 these things where not in place so the institution of marriage was a strong thing,sex sells as they say .
even the stress of money now has got a lot of people in it's dirty hands.
the question i ask myself where are we all goig with this and who are the ones makeing these changes in the world these changes are not bettering society there makeing things worse.
i hope i made some sense there
Yes and no.
Some things you said are treu, but it is also true that the fifties and sixties were times when society was being run by a set pattern of what was supposed to be ultimate right thing to be and do....
in the late sixties, the evolution erupted that an individual may in fact follow his/her own form of personal fulfillment and need not follow the pattern considered as 'norm' to belong.
As i any other form of social change this produces the pitfalls....and the negative together with the positive.
I suggest you check out a four part documentary that is on line called:
The Century of Self.
