What are the pros and cons of Western society?

Your children are your children doesn't matter how old they are. All these behaviours are totally barbaric. The whole point of working is to maintain the health of the family unit, not to fund your own personal leisure. Family should get in the way of work, otherwise what is the point in going to work in the first place?

Pros: freedom of speech, democracy
Cons: over sexualisation. I've seen 11 years old wearing mini skirts. High divorce rate.

Why do English parents charge their own teenagers rent or put their elderly parents in homes? Why do they not really give a **** who their children marry as long as the state is supporting the ******* offspring? UK has more to worry about with its future social demographics than India by a long shot.

What do you mean by Western society? Do you mean White people?

then go back to Muslim countries of you hate us.

Pros: freedom of speech, democracy

I mean Europe, Canada, USA, Australia etc. I'd even add Japan.

Europe except Russia, Turkey and Belarus, and maybe Ukraine.

Pros: freedom of speech, democracy
Cons: over sexualisation. I've seen 11 years old wearing mini skirts. High divorce rate.

I'd say the main pros are freedoms of all kinds. Connected to this is the loss of traditions of what it means to be an individual within society as traditions normally have archaic power structures. This leaves individuals without a sense of purpose and a contradictory culture in which our culture is supposedly based on freedom but at the same time freedom means a lack of rules so there is no moral way of enforcing our idea of freedom.

"West is the Best"

We've created this Western hemisphere on the basis of distinct sets of norms, values embodied in our law and traditions. This stems out of Roman & Greek philosophy and jurisprudence, Judeo-Christian theological transformations (i.e. Catholic renaissance and Protestant Reformation were particularly important, followed by the Englightenment).



What I like the most about the West is: individual freedom, division of powers, empiricism & critical reasoning, entrepreneurship combined with kinship

However, West is far from perfect and we need to strive for more, especially in the Millennial generation:

"We have to encourage return to traditional moral values - most importantly, we have to promote general social concern, and less materialism in young people" - Patrick Bateman

Is that a pro or a con?
