Do you think that our movies, music, and television are becoming too sexualized? If so, what suggestions do you have to change this? What kinds of effects do you think sexuality in entertainment is having on our society?
My view
I think it is a change of the times. There was a time when TV was not allowed to show a couples in bed together. Now we have shows like 2 ½ men that have a content of 99.9 percent dealing with sex or sex related, in prime time and the show is doing well in the ratings.
Sex is used to sell everything from flowers to heavy equipment. We are viewing in our entertainment a subject that was long taboo.
We are not likely to be able to put the Genie back in the bottle; our innocence has been lost forever. So we are faced with how to deal with this change in our culture. We can complain of our moral decline as many do today, and point to this as evidence, or we can finds ways to use it to our advantage. I choose the latter.
