Pandora and Polygamy

According to this article, Pandora and Polygamy, Polygamy is one of alternative lifestyles in modern life. It has been emerging like gay marriage. In the beginning of time, there were a lots of negative feeling to gay marriage, but it became alternative marriage style against a traditional marriage. HBO series "Big Love" stimulate union of polygamists as well as give the power to them to emerge in the world like gay marriage. The author, Charles Krauthammer reveals him agnostic, because he does not want to change traditional rule of marriage rapidly and he does not want to make claim to polygamy for equal respect. Even though I understand their alternative of marriage, I don’t want to be polygamist. Further more, government try to censor the media such as HBO that make influence on society. There are three reason to censor the media for healthy society.

First, mass media can influence on society. The power of mass media can change society with a beautiful expression of polygamy. Knowing and understanding polygamy are easy way to be open to polygamy by mass media. Even though we can have sympathy to them, it is not acceptable to the healthy society. One man and one woman marriage style is an important rule to protect family from destroying cosmos in the world. The mass media have to work for public health and happiness.

Second, young people and rich people are vulnerable to be open to that kind of program. Considering the importance of mass media, it is evil to the young people. Some young men envy that marriages without logical thinking. Because they don't have rules to control themselves from a unique marriage. Especially, it seems difficult for rich men to hide their desire to the beautiful women. The mass media has to be careful to stimulate basic instincts like animal.

Third, it is necessary to censor mass media for fair distribution of sex. It is unfair to have a lot of wives, while some poor guy can not marry with women for lacking money. Even though the principle of world is not fair, is full of ironies, we try to be fair and try to have plant seeds in our heart. Can you see the perfect thing in your life? There are no perfect marriage style, so we had better choose traditional marriage style that make few troubles in our society.

In conclusion, the government and people have to censor the media for healthy society because we made a rule, we have to follow it. It deserves to censor it for our harmonious world. Please don't open pandora.
