Nicole Ekishou OneWithDunamis NCP Samael OneWithDunamis Think of the greater good of society, if you intend to stay with the society you're familiar with. Change is good for a society. If we never had change we would never advance in life. Besides there is more to mirage than just a union between two people. There is a lot of political crap that is involved and gays just want the same rights. If you ask me it's closed minded stuff like this that hold the potential of people back.
Progress isn't always beneficial to society. How wonderful it'd be if the atom bomb was never invented. Now people are fighting to put an end to one example of technological advance. The fear and paranoia are products of change.
If the Atomic Bomb had never been invented, The US and Japan would probably have ground Japan into the ground the old-fashioned way, then gone straight into World War III afted they licked their wounds from that. The sole reason the Cold War was fought by proxy was because both sides were afraid that direct warfare would lead to nuke-slinging.

I say they couldn't, because they haven't. The first three in particular have been around for more than half a century. They have certainly changed civilization, but are a long way from destroying it.
I'd say teen pregnancies, drug use encouragement, skeet skeet, are all downfalls of society caused by mass media, to name a few. All of which existed way before they came onto the scene.
Hell, as little as two hundred years ago, Teen pregnancy (with marriage, of course) was encourgaged. Girls married early and often in Colonial America, mostly due to the high mortality rate among their husbands. It wasn't that uncommon for a woman, as she approached her twilight years, to have had children from two or even three successive marriages. And don't get me started on the middle ages and earlier.
Drug use? Have you ever heard of Opium? It actually used to be legal only a hundred years ago. People would run opium dens where a patron would come in, rent a bunk, and smoke the day away in that one little spot. Mankind's history with drugs is long and storied, and stretches back for a milennium at least.
Indeed! But these views are continually supported by the media even after we know of the negative effects they have on people. At least back then they could use ignorance as an excuse.
Sexuality is a constant factor in human life, despite the actions of many to villify it or pretend it doesn't exist. Music and television talk about it, from the point of view of their artists/writers. Messages are in suppourt in general (no song that I know of is pro-teen pregancy, for instance), or telling a story about experiences with it. Many speak out against it.
As for drugs, neither does any more than either depict it as part of their stories (not the same as support), and just as often speak out against it.
It's a much more effective method to support something subtly. You see enough people smoking in the media and people will follow suit. Except for the wiser folk of course.
