“Be sensitive to our culture, stop copying the west” …. SIGH
Posted by: BamBam In: a post by BamBam| hyperbole reality| random rant `skip`
I honestly don’t get this argument, do the people that use that argument really understand the culture that was bequeathed to them ? Hell do they even care ?
I think simply the answer is “NO” they simply find it easier to be delusional and ignore the issues that offend their sensibilities with the reaction of “we don’t have that in our culture, it’s of foreign origin”, “I wish they would imitate the good things from the west” and “acknowledging those ills promotes them and makes people practice those things”. Personally I had it.
This is just my opinion and I’m not trying to be unbiased …
Read this carefully, no matter how many times you pray, repeat in your head and/or wish things away they will never disappear! Those issue are popping like spring flowers now not because people are imitating the west its because our culture is no longer as isolated as it was.
Being sensitive to our culture only exasperates the problem, our culture is one where vices and sins are tolerated as long as it is in private. As long as they, the people around us and the public, don’t talk about it, then all is good. As long as they don’t know!
Now that the genie is out and people are talking about those issues we hear those bleached out cries parroted over and over.
The solution is no longer more monitoring, more legislation, and more prohibition. The solution is more education and placing trust in the individuals and empowering them to take the right choice. Imposing morality by social pressure will only cause more friction.
we have people suggesting things such as [quote]
“For example, watching night clubs closely, tracing non-Jordanian prostitutes, enlightening parents about the importance of talking to their kids about sex, watching more closely for people spreading and selling pornographic material, promoting rules and organizations which make marriage easier”
Then we have the “Those who are straying from their religion are to blame, not the conservatives or the religion itself.” people. Let me reiterate this since it may have not sunk in deep enough for it to stick, sex is practiced by all types of people the fact that they don’t talk about it doesn’t mean that they don’t do it.
It’s usually those that allow their understanding of religion to deny them the right to discuss issues of sex that are at risk in our society. They end up knowing little to nothing about how to practice safe sex and when they do “sin” they are the ones that are exposing themselves to those dangers and not the “sinners”. They actually acknowledge that they will do those things and seek out the knowledge to protect themselves. Let’s face reality here people, we all “sin” !
Though i might be quoting from one post but this was a reoccurring theme in a lot of posts, I might be living in a bubble but atleast i try to acknowledge the existence of other bubbles rather then see them as mirages.
