WORLD/ MEDIA INFLUENCES

Herd Approval
There is a natural instinct to gather with the herd, for safety and protection. This is a trend throughout Nature, and there is routinely 'Safety in numbers'.
However, like lemmings all collectively diving over a cliff edge to their death, this can be dangerous, if the herd is running in the wrong direction
No doubt the biggest "World influence" on us, is from the TV in our home.
TV and Movies, influence our values, by implying that ‘everyone’ is also doing this or that.
Popularity gives a message ‘herd approval’, and so becomes persuasive.

The Family Unit is under attack:
- No-fault Divorce is now common place
- Broken homes and step parents are routine
- Houses are bought based on two incomes, so the mother needs to return to work after giving birth.
- In UK sex is illegal under the age of 16, due to the immaturity to deal with such relationships - but this is not enforced.
- Role models in movies engage in casual sex routinely.
- Abortion is freely encouraged, but post-abortion remorse and depression is never mentioned.
- Confusion and mental illness is created amongst children regarding their gender and identity.
- An Autistic child in any family causes a great strain, also on sibling - yet the explosion of Autism and ADHD, and the link with childhood vaccines, is being hidden and ignored.
- Social media is redefining relationships and values, with peer pressure and insecurity, encouraging adult behavior prematurely.
