I agree with you. Although I think the money should probably be spent on other more important research or just donation to charity. Surprisingly though, despite these obvious facts in our society, teens and young people still binge drink. Undoubtedly this is the result of desensitization by our media, bad parenting style, and the lost of morality over the years. Really, our society needs to boost its already decaying moral principles. What we needs is probably a little more control over the media[not in the sense of controlling freedom of speech, but in the sense of controlling the output of crap media and garbage movie from trash actors and directors].
This is probably going to piss off a lot of people…..
But if morality has really declined, isn’t it because there wasn’t a good moral framework to work with in the first place? The moral (and parenting) framework people used to have was authoritarian, patriarchal, arbitrary, and repressive. Now we are seeing the cultural reaction to that in people who want to party non-stop in a consequence-free environment. I don’t think returning to the old ways is any better than what we have now. We need something new.
