Our society is constantly changing, and
its evolution seems to be affecting people's values and morals at every age.
For example, today it is not uncommon to turn on the TV in the middle of the
day and see scenes of violence or sexual content that should be reserved to
adult viewers. In addition, some rap music, or even video-games, also add to
the problem by promoting use of violence or sexist behaviour that in the long
run tend to desensitize us. All of these factors, at various levels, contribute
to the decline of moral values in modern society. In fact, they are valid
examples of the lack of respect shown to our youth's normal psychological
development, or to the dignity of those we call minorities because of their
gender, race or sexual orientation.
