Marsha West — America’s Moral Implosion

The 60s generation embraced moral relativism—the belief that there is no right and wrong—and it swept across our nation like a firestorm. Five decades later a large number of Americans have completely lost their moral compass. We have become the hook up culture, marked by casual sexual encounters. We are a nation of Girls Gone Wild, where young women expose themselves before cameras.

How much deeper into the immoral abyss can we slide?When a nation has no clear understanding of what exactly is moral and immoral the younger generation’s thinking becomes muddled. Without proper guidance from their parents, young people are unable to discern good from evil.Speaking of which, teen idol Miley Cyrus is working on changing her image to sultry seductress. In her raunchy new music video single “Who Owns My Heart” fans won’t recognize the cute teenage girl who plays the title role of Hanna Montana on the Disney channel. Miley is17-years-old and apparently thinks she’s all grown up. If appearances are any indication, she seems quite comfortable in her new role. Watching the video makes one think that writhing on a bed wearing only underwear and grinding with males and females on the dance floor wearing short shorts and a reveling top is old hat for Lady Miley. One thing’s for sure: Miley Cyrus is no longer the Disney darling she once was. Watch her video. See the new Barbarella do her thing.In a 2007 interview with USA Today, Miley said that her Christian faith is “the main thing” in her life. She said that God wants her to be a “light, a testimony” in Hollywood.

Then in 2008 Miley caused quite a stir when she posed for Vanity Fair. While there was no nudity, the 15-year-old was wrapped in what appeared to be a bed sheet with her entire back exposed.At the ripe old age of 16, Miley dawned short shorts, black boots and did a pole-dancing performance at the Teen Choice Awards.
