#1 Those who didn’t live through that period cannot imagine how quickly and radically our society was transformed.

Oh, the stats show very well the surge in out of wedlock births, single mother head of households, and the dramatic expansion of entitlements.

No one has captured the consequence of “revers[ing] civilized morality” as well as Tom Wolfe does in his brilliant 2000 essay “Hooking Up.”

I use the term "decivilization".

#2 I am beginning to think that all of those out of context, random sex scenes and female nudity in movies was a form of sexual harassment/punishment of "uppity" actresses.

I never understood why a movie had to have a 20 minute graphic sex scene burning film and taking up story time except to humiliate the actress, gratify the actor and the director, and fill up time in a movie that really didn't tell a story.

Cheap commercialism. When the Movie Theaters went multiple screens it was a moneymaker on over-priced popcorn sales to turn the blind eye to teenagers sneaking out of the G-rated films they bought tickets for... For Hollywood writers? Why work hard to write good dialogue when you can just put in minutes of Bump-n'Grind?
