Television sure has changed! I remember as a child growing up there was no such thing as sex scenes, there was rarely even foul language. The coolest show I watched was Saved by the bell, where being bad was saying the dog ate your homework. A time when things seemed to be more simple in terms of what parents had to worry about their kids watching. Today parents have to worry about setting parental controls.
As an adult now, I can honestly say that there has been such a dramatic change. All you see today on television is reality shows. Not to be honest I would be lying if I said I didn't find some of these shows quite entertaining. But I can't help but wonder how over a decade we have turned into a society that would rather watch people eat bugs, then sit and watch America's funniest home videos.
It seems to me that the role of the media has changed dramatically. What was once not appropriate for television, is no longer offensive to people today. And while I will agree that everything changes with time, and it is great to see that people are more open minded. I can't help but wonder how we have become so easily amused by shows, that we no longer care how degrading some of them are.
