Today's influences in art, music, theater, movies, etc. reflect negatively on our generation and what we value. A popular image in pop culture is the well-known, Miley Cyrus, previously known as Hannah Montana. Her performance at the VMA's was insulting to women and too vulgar to show. But this is an image during the VMA's of Miley "grinding" on Robin Thicke singing his controversial song, Blurred Lines. These two, along with many other Hollywood stars, have given our generation a bad name. The song was convicted of encouraging rape, date drugging, cheating, and casual sex. Miley touching herself and throwing herself all over Thicke evidently didn't help his case. They are just a few of the many examples of what our society really values, which is money, sex, power, popularity, and looks.
