Enjoying happiness and freedom of self-expression fulfills the desire to compliment society with our own unique, individual qualities that contribute to the creation, facilitation and achievement of our highest potential as individuals and therefore, as a nation. *inalienable: “not to be removed or transferred” – Webster’s Illustrated Dictionary Responsibility in media figures heavily into this scenario.

While the vast Entertainment industry has the capability if it so chooses of changing this trend, there is little indication that the excessive violence, sexual promiscuity and lack of morality in media is diminishing.
