People have questioned the idea of going back to the morals of the 1950s a lot. The film Pleasantville is all about bringing enlightenment to the innocent, or, it could be said, ignorant, times of the past. Sure, both things existed, but the people involved were always hidden, forced to change or sent away. Really, the 1950s could be now, all we would have to do is start ignoring anything that might complicate our lives. The thought of that, however, scares me.
Complication is what makes life interesting.
We all live from day to day doing more or less the same things. That's where I could see society getting worse, if each day was so monotonous. People, left with no other options, would try anything to find any kind of excitement. Instead of trying to go in reverse to make our society a better place to live in, people should instead realize that the world is the way it is because of a natural progression of society. It's not because of extramarital sex or more lenient divorce laws.
