A nice phrase used by a writer called Kenneth Tan in his travel article regarding his trip to BeiJing.
While many countries are struggling to progress in terms of their economy and in general, their country, many other aspects of their country actually deteriorating.
An example would most probably be Singapore. Mark said something which actually triggered me to stand in a different position to view the issue faced by Spunk.
I could remember what he said, although not exactly but the gist of the whole conversation is still in my mind.
Youths aged 16-22 are manifested with the american culture, so much that we lost our own culture. Lets face the facts peeps, our roots are from China. Be it how many generations ago, we still have that in our blood. Why do we look upon countries with rich cultures when we do not even treasure our own.
I said, people who complained about SPUNK are narrow-minded. Not exactly. Its not that they couldn't keep up with our pace of "progress", its that they do not want to. It is a mindless struggle to save that tinge of our culture's rule to be conservative and low profiled when it comes to sexual content. I admit that my thoughts were polluted when the overall advertising plan was done up.
I am not here to say that I am wrong. It is between our society's advertising freedom and our culture. If I have to make a stand, I am sorry but to say that, I would choose advertising freedom.
Progress is definitely a dirty word.
