Behavior: What Miss New Jersey Means for the Future of Civilization

The internet and the technology that we have today make information readily available at a speed we’ve never had before. We can drum up information from someone’s kindergarten years if we want to. What this does is give us a deeper understanding of people. While privacy appears to be the issue, it’s really derivative. The real issue at hand is who are these people? Is Miss New Jersey chaste? Is she a woman “with a past”? Do either of those things mean she can or can’t be Miss New Jersey?

We’re being given the opportunity to look deeper at who we are as a society, and if we want to enact laws to control information, we can do it by legislation, and if we want to keep the information coming and enact changes in the way we judge people, we can do that, too.

Whether behavior is silly or sordid, it’s being recognized as common and normal. Are we willing to accept people for who they REALLY are? That’s the question that’s at hand — and my answer is, yes! If we don’t like who people are, we can change our own behavior. It’s much easier to do than trying to control others.
