We're all human, we make unique choices and also mistakes, that's just a fact of life. Though as human beings, we're to limit our choices to the rights and wrongs: legally and morally. Some would argue that polygamy is not wrong because in a pride of lions, one male will mate with many females to ensure the survival of the group. Of course, polygamists would also connotate their religious beliefs into it as well. I myself think one's enough...I cannot imagine openly maintaining multiple relationships nor even trying to keep each one a secret. The standards we have in society are just for a civilized human race. And if the majority of society dubs these as genuine and true, then we should uphold these morals and laws and now give in to animal instinct: killing, raping, etc.
America wears a great guise. We shun crime, violence, polygamy, and so on, yet for the most part, people are into at least one guilty sin. Gossip flutters about of who did what. Those same storytellers are just as guilty as the party accused. And let's look at our American Princess: Ms. Britney Spears. We'd lock our own family away if we knew they were doing drugs, but Ms. Spears is praised. Not directly, but giving her the continuous media coverage she receives, it's reinforcing to everyone that her behavior deserves attention...and will mislead some people into thinking that what she's doing is right. Little girls who liked her now see her downfall. And yes, it's up to the parents to tell their child that what she's doing is not right, but years ago, we kept this negative image of our celebrities under the table. Not that I am saying it was morally right, but it meant keeping face in the time of tragedy. I'm not interested in knowing the personal habits of my favorite actors or musicians...I know they have flaws. Why broadcast everyone's dirty laundry all over the world.
