RE: DESENSITIZATION

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago

we have to quarrel a bit now... In a very friendly and lovely way, of course ;-))

It's all about happy banter. And respecting eachother's opinion. I'm all for it :)

Dearest Weisser-rabe, I may agree with you regarding this "psychological thrillers don't generate psychopaths..."

My frustration stems from the delicate and fine balances in things, slowly being molded and distorted through the media. I'm unsure if you're up to date on watching drama series or the genres you prefer. Trust me, you might not appreciate what you see. "We" are somewhat mature people who can distinguish between right and wrong. However, what about those fragile minds? How are their thinking and thought processes being redefined? How they are taught that it's ok to to go astray every single time there is a temptation...

And then there's the topic I discussed regarding DRUGS, specifically METH. I understand the concept of use and abuse, but after watching that drama, it's glorified to such an extent that it makes me sick. As a parent, it worries me when I see such things. I've shared an excerpt from a blog here, highlighting that the drug—let me rephrase, the Meth producer and supplier—was trending as a social media sensation with memes and whatnot. Is that really what we want? I'm addressing the aspect of "desensitization" and the kind of stimuli that have been generated.

Clarifying from the beginning, my beliefs about the use and abuse of drugs stem from my religious values as a Muslim. However, in this discussion, I'm not focusing on that aspect. I comprehend how the world operates outside those beliefs. It's fine. What concerns me is the alarming situation in which drug-related content is presented to us, almost as if it's nothing.

And about relationships regarding "throuple", I admit that is purely subjective (and religious) beliefs. While my perspective is shaped by my religious values, I also apply reasoning to my beliefs. Personally, I find it challenging to accept such arrangements, as I believe it goes against human nature. Even in Islam, where a man is allowed to have multiple wives legally, there are strict criteria to ensure fair treatment and avoid wrongdoing. It's a complex and debatable topic, and I respect your opinion while adhering to my own beliefs.

Last but not least, I'm ever so grateful to you for your thorough remarks and for dedicating your precious time to my post. Thank you, and warmest regards.

I got rid of my last television set in 2001 and when I moved in with my friend a few years ago, fortunately there hadn't been one there for a long time either...

Of course, I still know a lot of what's on the market, albeit more as an observer than as a regular consumer. I see "Breaking Bad" and even more so the spin-off "Better call Saul" as bitterly exaggerated satire. In my opinion, nothing is glamorised there. Even more so in another production - "Narcos". It's rather revealing and sobering.

I'm more disturbed by the popularity of formats like Trash TV. I attribute this in turn to the decline of education - especially humanistic education. How do you want to discuss Kant with functional illiterates...?

You and my husband share similar "choices" and thoughts about these seasons. He is a fan of Narcos. I also enjoyed "Better Call Saul"; you're right about it being an over-exaggerated satire. I hope our generation is as resistant to these comedy/satire drama series as you are and takes it with a grain of salt.

Thank you so much for your views and your invaluable input.
Much Love

... and best regards to your husband ;-)))
