I’m just adding to the comments left by Ashley and Joyce. The authors do seem to highlight the negatives of transition. They touch on a ‘give and take’ relationship between progression and deterioration. On page xx the authors cite a decline in premature death, but a rise in divorce rates. Is every positive balanced by a negative? --Andrew | I’m just adding to the comments left by Ashley and Joyce. The authors do seem to highlight the negatives of transition.

| − | I respectfully disagree with Rebecca. I think that views on sex have changed. Of course parents frown upon premarital sex, but the media embraces it. It is part of our culture. Sex is everywhere. On T.V., in movies, books, and even on the radio (listen to any popular rap song). Sex is also in schools. Children are exposed to it in ‘sex ed.’ More people are o.k. with the notion of underage sex today than they were 300 years ago, or even 50 years ago. | + | I respectfully disagree with Rebecca.
