Permissive society is becoming a threat to the future generation, whereby people believe that whatever they do is right even if it compromises our society’s values. Ladies walking half naked is not an issue and furthermore, they have reached a point where they may be seeking a legal right to continue with their promiscous dressing. The slogan “my dress my choice” is readily on their lips, and one wonders how people are willing to embrace such practices that compromise the valued image of the society .
Young people are now wealthy enough to assume they can command the respect of the society, and this has cause conflicts between them and the elder statesmen in the society, and even the older people fear they might withdraw their financial support from them.
Pornographic literature is widely read and viewed by young people through social media platforms, and this trending behaviour has corrupted the sexual values among the youth. As a result, vices like prostitution have become a source of income, and to show how the situation has become more hopeless, some people are openly supporting prostitution.
Also, the ruling which was given by a high court judge that encouraged intermarriage between relatives-distance cousins-received different reactions from religious leaders who termed it as an act of undermining religious values. If this comes to fruition then permissive society will now have an upper hand over normal, valued ethics, and will erode the good virtues of our society.
Marriage between opposite sex is acceptable by society, but recently, same-sex partners have been marching on the streets demanding to be recognized, and even Africans countries who oppose the legalization of the groups in their countries have been issued with economic sanctions by notable foreign nations. It’s high time our society and religious leaders come up with initiatives to save our generation from the corruption of permissive society.
