Respecting our elders

See the thing is, back in the days (80's) if we as kids stepped out of line we'd get a good beating. Our folks werent afraid of the law, there wasn't a support network like there is now. The beatings were for our own benefit and a passed down tradition in discipline which we had to accept. Today the modern day Brit-asain knows his/her rights, todays kids are being parented by 2nd, 3rd generation asains who perhaps are more accepting of their offsprings downright obnoxious behaviour. For example, a young brit-asain mum may understand and accept her daughter's willingness to don a sparkly little hotpant, because she herself can recollect the day when on a summers day it felt right to do so too. The oldschool elders wouldn't stand for this. Back in the pind, moral and social integrity formed the backbone of ones character. But, we live in a new age now. Its London 2011, the youth is liberated and living in a highly sexualised society which is very demanding of women. The glossy mags, asaina mag, Asain women are all glad with expertly polished women with not a blemish on their faces, ahh the joys of photoshop..if only they knew. The average brit asain living in a western society has a different battle on their hands, I just hope we can retain some of those oldschool values that our elders instilled in us, integrate..sure but never illuminate.
