“Whatever has happened to our decent society? We have laws both spiritual and mans, yet so many are broken for the sheer hell of it. Respect is no longer there. Where has this all gone to?
“Selfishness is the order of the day and through the media, especially television, we are constantly being bombarded by people’s acts of selfishness and violent abusive behaviour.
“We constantly see on our screens that this behaviour is acceptable. We are being brainwashed to such a degree that we almost become immune to it.
“Our senses are dull. It is no longer shocking to us. Why have we lost our way? How far must we go until the full realisation finally hits us that disrespectful behaviour and abuse can no longer be acceptable in today’s society?
“We have all grown up with this media culture and hardly anything has been done to stop it. We have the regulators, but even they have turned a blind eye to this saying, “This is the norm and people expect people to act in this way.”
““No,” is the short answer. Until the people of this country and the world start to stand up for law and order and Mankind to fall back into line, where respect not abuse is finally back in our lives, we will continue to fall and all decent people will continue to suffer because of it.
“The society we have at present is as a direct consequence of what we have tolerated for so long – until more and more people stand up and object to this nothing of any use can ever be changed.
“The television soaps encourage bad behaviour night after night. It is on our screens. We allow this bombardment of disrespect and abuse to enter our homes daily instead of saying, “No” and switching it off.
“We expose our children to it, so it becomes acceptable to them as a way of life. Until we as a nation stand up and say, “This is unacceptable” absolutely nothing will ever change and this behaviour continues to spiral out of control in every element of our society.
“It is the many decent people of this nation and the world, who must have a voice and start to bring in respectful standards once again back into our lives.
“How far down the slippery slope of degradation must Mankind go to before something finally is done?
“Our society is plagued in so many ways. The people must eventually stand up and ask themselves the question, “When will we do something about it?”
“The media themselves must help to take this lead and bring back decency into society and not allow it to be a case for sensationalism.
“They must accept their part in being responsible and to do the right and honest thing before it is too late.
“Our children deserve a better, more respectful way of life. If we cannot see that then we are truly damaged and hope for us all is slim indeed.
“We now acknowledge the lead and by example voice our objections, so a gradual but effective turn around can finally be achieved and we can bring about a better society.”
