<Here are some other good chapters from the Up and Out site: Sex and Poverty ...... (excerpt) But meanwhile, our society continues to hold out the picture of purely casual, unmarried sex without making commitments, as the glamorous and desirable norm. We all are impacted and shaped, more every year, by the ever-rising flood of such material, coming from all sides. Whether it is from the print or broadcast media, cable, satellite, movies, DVDs, music, the internet or the wildly-proliferating sex industry which seeps into all these, we are soaked in it. No one is unaffected. The principal teachers of our chlldren are not our schools. After all, just the time spent watchinig TV alone, in their first 18 years, is double the total time they spend in school! [23] Children are prone to copy what they see more than what they are taught. What they see on screen, the music they hear, and the titillating fashions around them, become their models. What they see on every side tells them that unmarried sex is what is most normal, most attractive, and the best. But the disasterous down-side is almost never shown. If the poor are truly victims of society, it is mostly because that society has accepted and glamorized unmarried sex. After all, unmarried sex and the resulting fatherlessness is the greatest cause of their poverty. And the poor are the least equipped among us to resist the daily hammering of hundreds of appealing presentations of the lure of unmarried sex. .. upandout.us upandout.us upandout.us
