" Profanity: The New Language "

Posted by maxine46 Posted on: 05/22/08

" Profanity: The New Language "

Today's society has taken profanity to a whole new level as if its backbone has absolutely no merit. Why does it have to be used so often and, so forcefully? It's used in movies, plays, television shows, video games, right down to cartoons. Why does it seem like profanity is the only way to get your point across nowadays? There are so many words in thousands of dictionaries. Do you mean to tell me that there aren't any other words besides profanity that will be just as effective? Profanity seems to be glorified to the point that teenagers think it's actually COOL. Teenagers are spewing profanity like a fountain but, public school children are using it too so forcefully without actually knowing the meaning of the words they use.

CHILDREN ARE SO EASILY INFLUENCED by what they pick up from being around older children and adults who should be the ones setting a good example for all of our children. Then again, some households simply are unable to or, don't make the time to screen every program in the household to ensure that their children aren't listening to and watching such filth. There used to be a time when children respected their elders. But, some of today's youth have little or no respect for their elders at all. There are children whose age range between five thru ten who will curse you out as though they were grown. Actually, I feel all children are cute and adorable. But, a cute, adorable child with a foul mouth who spits out F and B words are no longer adorable nor cute but, seem extremely ugly while doing so. People today should strongly consider the long term consequences profanity can have on our youth.

  • It's an epidemic. In times past, respect kept most from cursing in many social contexts. In recent times, tolerance has replaced respect. Rather than respecting me by not using profanity in earshot of my children, I am to tolerate my neighbors, however they choose to express themselves.
