Some people see movies and television as distractions. I think everything has its place.
Some see movies and television as negative influences on society. I think its a question of who has the tools of change in their hands and what sort of change they intend to engineer.
I used to swallow many things whole, thinking they were the norm. With time, I began to reevaluate my perceptions about many things. I realized for instance in movies, songs, and books, people project their perceptions and beliefs and realities.
Some beliefs are foundations that inspire the construction of a successful life. Other beliefs work for some people under their circumstances and require some filtering to fit our situations if we intend adopting them.
The fact still remains that many created in the media and literature need to be carefully reviewed.
Here lies the problem with young people. Their filtering funnels are still trying to differentiate what is to be allowed in and what should be rejected. And at their age, when some things that should be filtered out goes in, it takes a lot to help them unlearn further down the years.
If we believe something has the potential to greatly influence our world, we should encourage and support responsible people to take up those influential roles.
