In my Opinion!!!
We have intentionally put ourselves in a social predicament! We now
live in a dilemma, a situation whereby the mass conveniently believe there is
no any other choice than to accept the detriment of a particular problem, not
because it can’t be resolved but because resolving it is a problem that could
consequently leads to other problems. A social mess whereby abnormality becomes
the new normality and amorality now dictates the ideals to the multitudes. What
an awful social setting where people have no concern for integrity, personality
and identity because they are over-zealously in search of a fleeting popularity,
faddy political position, dirty money and other sham life, regardless of where,
how and what is the source; be it from scamming, stealing, killing, lying and
sundry other illegalities and amorality. Such social problem is becoming so
critical to the extent that, preaching against any of those dishonesty and
unlawfulness in religious houses is insurmountable; they are easily condoned
than condemned. We are witnessing a social challenge where parents do not only
encourage and support these illegalities, they are now boldly proud of their
fugitive and culprit progeny. A social challenge that has turned criminality to
a talent and criminals are now like celebrities or monarchy chiefs with
sufficient cultural backings needless to be remorseful, shameful or apologetic.
Scammers now receive social hailing and mass
ovations. They are now the new role models for the upcoming youths, because the
aim of most teenagers now is not to beat them but to join them. Crooks would
now cite poverty as their sound justifications to their atrocities. Kidnappers
would blame their outrage on the government incapacities. In my opinion, these
are nothing but offenses that can’t be curbed neither with constitutional
enactments, legislative nor judiciary laws.
They are sins that can’t be easily controlled with spiritual lecturers and
religious scriptures. They are social challenges that are becoming the new custom,
legacy and tradition in which anthropologist would not be able to prevent. The
only medications I strongly think can treat these social syndromes are
governmental, parental and self-reorientation, governments and parents need a
lot to do in reshaping the minds of the young on what is right and wrong, the
importance of fidelity, integrity and identity should be informally educated and
no matter how the condition may be, scamming and stealing from people is never
a reasonable panacea and every reasonable mind should know that there can never
be an acceptable rationales for cruelty.
