American conservative group makes inroads into China's classrooms
发布者I want to add that while a loss of values (by consumer culture) is partly what produces the recent trend of fundamentalism, Confucianism, and these type of christian groups, they are not the answer.
The idea presented by "family values" advocates is that you should choose A. emotional repression, shame, chauvinism, authoritarianism, conformity and sacrificing the present for the future, because if you don't you will have to choose B. Total selfish hedonism, addiction, lack of accountability
IT IS RIDICULOUS. It is not reality.
Most young people can sense this, I hope.
Confucian and (reinvented) "christian" values, have been a disaster, and will solve nothing. In fact the early Christians had it right-sexual freedom, sexual equality, ecstasy, all within the context of meaning and community service. And by the way, Jesus said you should forsake your family, so family values are a confused idea for Christians ( I am not one myself).
American conservative group makes inroads into China's classrooms
发布者I noticed that the majority of people on this thread don't have a problem with the advice that is being forced on youngsters, they only have a problem with who produced the program.
So let me say, this crap about "chastity", marriage, "I am the only one for you", etc etc is an ideological straight jacket all of which can lead people into misery just as easily as sex can. They already fit pretty well into an alienated and still patriarchal society, where physical abuse, lies, and secret mistresses are the norm.
Nowhere in that "good advice" does it teach about anatomy, STDS, birth control, equality between men and women, friendship, and the dating or sexual practices of various historical societies, as well as the behind the scenes, diverse reality of their own. It also doesn't teach that sex is awesome, very educational, and that most people will not stay with their first sex partner.
The idea of chastity doesn't protect girls, it is part of a game well stacked against them, a burden that will punish them. Telling girls to play this card is basically telling them that they are powerless.
How about " If you really loved me, you would know I don't want to get pregnant at age 16, so you would respect me enough to bring a box of condoms." ?
Or "You don't need to say you love me, and we probably wont end up married. But lets live and enjoy ourselves just to piss off those moralistic idiots, get in bed now!"
