Does a time period affect morals?


Morals? Ha, who has those anymore? But, who didn’t have those at one point in time. Time period defiantly affects morals. Looking back into history we see a degeneration of morals. In earlier times, drinking, smoking, sex; all these things weren’t a part of your everyday society, they weren’t openly talked about, and defiantly not advertised. Take a good look around today’s society however, and you might be a little shocked, and embarrassed. Sex, alcohol, smoking, drugs, can be found in almost every common conversation, billboard, advertisement, and internet site. As the times changed and new things introduced, people become less affected by it, and creating a moral degeneration. I can’t speak on these things because I myself am a great example of the new generation and new morals. My parents despise smoking; however I’ve been smoking for two years now. Sex, and don’t sugar coat it pretending it doesn’t happen, it does. Hello, teen pregnancy? My grandparents are constantly having talks with me about how in their day this and this didn’t happen! I say, as people progress, things that are supposed to be not talked about or done, are done just because of that reason. Which is why I believe there’s such a moral degeneration throughout our times and different standard social morals.
