Parents: The Creators and Destroyers of Morals
Justin Apresa a sixteen year-old boy remembers how he first came to learn about sex and the treatment of the opposite sex. “It wasn’t like my parents talked to me about sex and girls,” Justin commented. He learned about it through his cousin who, at the time was merely seventeen years old. Justin remembers how his cousin told him that the more women he slept with, the more “Macho” he would become, meaning more of a “Man” in English terms. He was also told that women liked to be treated like sexual objects, if a women refused to have sex with him, it did not matter because he was a “Man”.

These shows may seem entertaining but what is not being taken into account are the children that are watching these Reality Shows. Joseph explained, “parents don’t monitor what there children watch on TV, therefore these children are growing up thinking what they watch is the way life should be handled.” Since parents are no longer supervising these programs, the television is raising the children of today with flawed morals.
