America is one country in the world that is very hush-hush about sexuality. I believe that America fears human sexuality a bit and thus, fears when homosexuals try and express their sexuality (and rights for their sexual orientation) and when artists and musicians try to show their sexual side during their performances. Lately in the media, Miley Cyrus has been a major topic of talk. From her "raunchy and sexually-driven" performance of the "We Can't Stop" and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" to her nude shot on top of a wrecking ball in her new music video. She has made it clear to the world that she has no regrets about any of her decisions. I am biased because I have been a fan for years of the talented star who is even younger than I am, but recently she brought up a very valid point. She mentions the very popular show Breaking Bad and the drugs involved-
"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong ... Like, I was watching Breaking Bad the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'fuck.' And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'fuck?' It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the [MTV Video Music Awards]. Look what I'm doing up here right now and you're going to bleep out 'molly'?"
It just brought to my attention how America really does view sexuality as something that should not be public what-so-ever, but drugs can be talked about and shown all over TV as if nothing is wrong with it. Sexuality is a natural thing. Sex is natural. We need sex to survive. Since when do we need methamphetamines to survive? We don't, but it seems they are much more widely accepted on television than a little bit of sexual dancing (twerking) done by Miley. Maybe America should listen to Miss Cyrus and reevaluate what is right and what is wrong. Human sexuality, both heterosexual and homosexual, are natural processes and man-made psychoactive drugs are not.
