The elephant in the room

Life evolves and so do humans, but the question here is; is the evolution for the better or for the worse? I look at society today and I see nothing but things getting out of control. One of them is our children and how they are growing up. Things such as media content have a great deal of impact in their lives, not necessarily for the better and yet we adults ignore and why, because as many will say “it is business”. This is really a big issue – it is the elephant in our society and we shouldn't ignore.

Now a days sex sells, and the media could care less about what they convey out there to the people as long as they are making money and power. It is really appalling seeing our children, at a young age, now being sexually active and concern about what the opposite sex thinks. They are innocent creatures and at that age, the only thing they should be doing is play, laugh, and grow well.

We adults need to realise that we are not the only ones living in this world. There are children in our midst and are prompt to act by what they see and hear. It is our adult duty to take responsibility and put laws in place that will help guide our children to their full potential. The home, schools, media and the government – all have a big role to play in making sure that our children grow up right and act as adults when the time is right.

I call on each and every adult to make an effort to help our children grow well and we should not ignore the elephant in the room – like it or not, it will affect all of us in the near future. Don't ignore the truth, because of money and power - remember that everything we do, have consequesnces.
