You're putting too much moral value in media. Think of how many TV shows & movies put adolescent rebelling in a good light, puts value in materialism, or highly correlates good/bad behavior and storyline importance with character attractiveness.
- gascan 9y agoWe're probably thinking of different examples, but to me it's not morality- it's more like the exploration of unintended consequences. If you act like X, what unintended consequence Y might come about? I have always felt like hearing the stories of other people, good or bad, makes it easier to think about new-to-me circumstances. To borrow two popular quotes: - A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one - Experience is the teacher of all things
- simplify 9y agoI don't disagree with that, but pop media is particularly inaccurate at teaching the consequences of parenting, good or bad.
