Americas Moral Mind

c_prejean_trumpOk, so Carrie Prejean prefers marriage over gay marriage and releases some somewhat topless swimwear photos. This makes national news, why? It makes news because Donald Trump let’s Miss California keep her crown is why. I get somewhat amazed when people quote “This is the 21st Century” with inuendo making it OK to follow a fad or change a defining principle. Donald Trump is in it to get noticed, create controversy and define his own socialistic behavior for the country. However this is not a RAGE against Donald Trump but one against the definition of immoral behaviors in our society.

Immoral behaviors are defined by social groups abroad with hundreds of thousands to millions of voices. The bigger the group, the bigger the voice. The largest being the religious sector. Religious groups have the bible or many versions of it to back them. Other groups are built on opinion and social commentary. News associate’s abroad feed off the opinion of large social sectors and release the combined opinion of two parties. Immoral behaviors and the belief’s attached are a combination of centuries of opinion.

Where’s the fact you say? The fact lies with the strongest opinion held closest to you created by the strongest voice heard. Think about it for a second. Religious groups consistently quote the bible as the true word for defining immoral behavior while reading and reviewing Sunday scripture. Others practice various blood rituals in sanctification to there leader. Everyone follows there initial mentors viewpoint and then make a social decision to follow a stronger opinion or sustain a path based on the roots provided.

My point is this. Simply defining an immoral behavior as “bad” does not necessarily negate the fact that its affect on many lives is felt everywhere.  If Carrie Prejean was put in an awkward position to make racy photos it was up to her to walk away and decide what affect, if any it would have on her representation of California.  She like many others held the opinion “hey, it’s the 21st century” making it an acceptable social behavior for herself.  The decision to stay or walk away would not have made a difference and has not made one either way.  Carrie has her crown and we all have our own beliefs and opinions.  What was gained?
