Suicidal Nation: Part 2
Culture
A society will not thrive nor even continue to exist without a set of societal norms, in other words a common culture. Modern America is developing a new culture which is a complete break from the culture that America was founded upon.
Where shall I begin? Perhaps marriage and family. For generations, marriage between and man and woman that produced children was the rock that society was built upon. Marriage produced a stable environment for the raising of children, providing for material, emotional, disciplinary and spiritual needs. Typically a man did not marry until he had the means to support children, so the parents were adults before they brought children into the world.
Nowadays, too often children have sex and produce children that these child-parents cannot provide for materially nor emotionally. Marriage is becoming rare and often ends in failure. Self-centered 'parents' dump their spouse and family at the slightest inconvenience and make another disposable family. Children learn that nothing is permanent and nothing matters.
For generations, most Americans believed in a sovereign God and accepted His laws. The Constitution added a few rights under God and a few laws to clarify detail. Most folks knew and followed the law because it would be shameful to do otherwise.
Too many Americans don't know God and don't accept His sovereignty. Modern America has so many laws that no one could know and understand all of them. The law is used by our political and business elites to plunder the citizens breeding contempt for law and order. Justice in America has become a joke.
Western art and music has historically been used to elevate mankind above the harsh reality of everyday life. Both were a force for good. Now we substitute pornography, gangsta rap et al for Rembrandt and Bach, depicting man as a common beast. Music and art are dead in modern America.
Generations of Americans strove for a lifetime to rise above their base status and bring a sense of dignity to their life. They would wash and put on their meager Sunday best whenever they could for public appearance. Notoriety was shameful.
These days Americans can barely dress with dignity for church or a funeral. The body is exposed, tattooed, pierced and it is not surprising for people to go out in public wearing pajamas. Notoriety is the goal and nothing is shameful.
America's new culture is imploding and with it the country will implode. Nihilism appears to be the name of this new culture. God help us.
