Comments on: Moral Panic at the Movies http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/moral-panic-at-the-movies/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: abwrubel http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/moral-panic-at-the-movies/#comment-232 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:37:01 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=750#comment-232 Like you said, worrying is a natural reaction embedded in our very DNA. The only proactive thing we can do is make sure whatever it is younger generations are exposed to is not detrimental to their overall maturation and growth. I think that our fear and worrying stems from this. Our inability to predict the ways in which our present cultures will affect the future of younger generations. It’s more so a survival instinct, than an extraneous emotional response.

Like you said, people freak out about certain things they are not used to. Considering that society is constantly changing from generation to generation–probably year to year more recently with fads becoming popularized on the Internet quicker–we are always going to be surround by the unknown. And moral panics with parents–it’s inevitable! Parents will always be uncertain about what their kids are doing purely because it is not what they did when they were their age. Like you said, they feel as if they have no control. But, as we have seen with Sabrina from chapter 4, maybe too much influence is a bad thing.

I had a similar relationship with my mother that was portrayed in the film, Freaky Friday, throughout my underclassman years in high school. As I’ve matured, however, I now understand why my mother was so protective and worrisome throughout my teenage years. Being a parent is no easy task – especially in our generation – and we don’t give our parents enough respect for that. Granted, there were times where things were taken too far by each party, but it really does take being in someone else’s shoes, or becoming a parent, to realize the true responsibility of having to take care of another human being and all the worries and anxieties that come along with it.
