Much of today's entertainment is detrimental to the young generation: the coarseness, foul language, degrading depictions and words, the propensity for bullying and aggression, and the outright disrespect for anybody perceived as lesser, inferior, or not belonging, though innocent as a flower. This is what goes for much of youth entertainment, or entertainment in general for that matter, and then we have the gall to wonder why civil society is in a tailspin. Traditions have been lost. It used to be that parents and adults wouldn't tolerate foul language from youngsters, tawdry entertainment across the board would be banned for minors, and ethics and morality played an integral part in our schools. Not anymore in this anything goes/"whatever" society that has been fostered by negativism, cynicism and apathy. Until we can return back to our best traditions, a general coarseness and non-civility may well continue to be an albatross around our nation.
Traditions and a sentimental possession: great memories, lost dreams, but they can rise, again.
Post-script: I recovered my great possession, today, March 19, 2015, which was written about more thoroughly in the pre-revision post!
