I heard someone say that "children imitate their environment." they then went on to talk about how the media is so violent and this is the reason that we have so many criminal acts caused by children today. Now even though I have a hard time believing this is the cause of the problems with todays youth. My mind just kept thinking "well isnt it ironic?"
Now you probably look at me and think what do you mean by that, and I will tell you. Isnt it Ironic that the person who was making these statements is one of those people who only listens to rap music. The dirtier the better it is according to him. Isnt it ironic that all of his favoriite movies are about drug dealers, the mafia, or action packed killing and horor films. And ultimately he says well children will find away to disobey their parent.
Galatians 6:9 says "let us not grow weary in good doing." I picked this verse because it spoke to the fact that this kid claiims its hard to to keep an eye on todays youth, with all the violence in todays media. Well if you were trying to obey gods will and raise up todays youth, then dont give into the worldy pressures of today. Dont slack off by doing one thing and telling todays youth not to do it. Stay focused do not grow weary, if you think that it is hard to keep your children away from these things, look to the bible. It will show you the way and the answer.
So I ask is it ironic that this guy thinks todays media is to violent, or is it that this guy is too of the world and dont want to be a good example for his children so he blames it on the media? you tell me
