Obviously the sex issue has already been mentioned and I believe it is a very large issue being forced on particularly the younger audiences. Dishonesty or justification of your actions, where people are encouraged to act in a way which is not within the teachings of Christ. Material gain, the shiny new sports cars and other NEW products. It has become a "keeping up with the Jones'" world. This encourages people to find their happiness in material rather than spiritual things. Medications is pushed on us through the media. This drives people to think that a "pill" can fix anything. A pill will make you happy and then everything will be okay. I guess the next one that comes to mind are beauty products. These often times go hand in hand with the sexual component. If women will use this makeup, they will look like the young lady advertising the product. This can also feed into the male psyche, with the male thinking if his wife will use this make up or diet pill, she will look like the model on the commercial. Most of this society is concerned with the long range plans of God, they are focused more on their own "instant gratification." Fortunately, I think I see the tide turning in some aspects of our culture. Many are realizing the importance of a relationship with Christ and the promises of an eternal life. They are beginning to see the corruption of the world, both local and abroad. I often wonder how corrupt God will allow this world to become before he's tired of it. We should be ready at all times for the return of His Son.
