Just like all other types of professions and people, there are many entertainers who really care about society and strive for the betterment of humanity and seek good will. However, there are some that are questionable in their motives and actions. This category takes a hard look at some of our popular culture and its heroes.
Parents, guardians, and authority figures may appear to some teenagers and young adults as being: out-of-touch, behind-the-times, uninformed, unaware, un-hip, insensitive, oppressive, inconsiderate, uncommunicative, unsympathetic, unreasonable, irrational, blind, witless, absurd, excessive, stubborn, obstinate, intolerant, ignorant, stupid, dumb, mean, cruel, unjust, unfair, tyrannical, dictating, autocratic, authoritarian, controlling, bothersome, ridiculous, annoying, irritating, harassing, pesky, meddling, intrusive, down-right wrong...
On the other hand, they may also offer some valuable education and personal experience, and may have something worth listening to. Regardless of whether who is right or wrong, it needs to be pointed out that almost all parents have an immense deep love for their children. Many of their parental actions may not make sense or seem oppressive, but they do it out of love. One must never forget that. Even if they never say it verbally or have difficulty expressing it, there exists a deep ever-lasting love within their hearts for all of their children. This is a fact.
And for those extremely few parents who run out on their children, abstain from their parental responsibilities, or do not have immense love for their children, remember, they are the one’s with a problem. They are the ones who are truly missing out on one of life’s greatest joys.
Same thing can be said with the many wonderful people who support society, such as teachers, social workers, police officers, and the military. Aside from a few occasional abuses, they are fulfilling a much needed role and service in our society. Many of them really care and believe in their roles in society, and are making many personal sacrifices for our well being.
Can one name all of the benefits that those mentioned above provide and the personal sacrifices that they are making on our behalf? Perhaps it might help by starting off by imagining a world without the services and sacrifices that these people make in our lives.
As a suggestion, if you are feeling alienated and frustrated to the point where you need to rebel against authority in the world, please consider your targets carefully. Who are the real everyday heroes in society?
