I am continuing to see article after article about the influx of STD's and STI's in America. One STD that is beginning to gain momentum is HPV. The majority of Americans will get a strain of HPV in their lifetime. Many people will fight their HPV strains off, but many others will continue to have persisting HPV infections. Some strains are low-risk HPV which is known as genital herpes. Other strains are high-risk. These high-risk strains can cause cancer. Not only can high-risk HPV cause cervical cancer, it can also cause cancer in other areas of the body. Studies have shown that there has been a sharp increase in the amount of men who have oral/throat cancers due to persisting HPV. This is frightening! What is more scary is that more health professionals are saying that HPV may not ever fully go away. It can remain dormant in the body.
What is even scarier is the fact that there are currently no tests for men that would be able to detect HPV.
With all that being said, I have to ask myself this. Will there be a traditionalist revival in America? With family planning funding being cut, and a disproportionate amount of STDs in America, will there be an emphasis on marriage before sex? Will Americans begin to choose their partners with more thought and caution involved?
Will this also trickle down to Americans and jobs? Will there once again be a strong notion of work ethic. Everyone is competing for a job. Will people go for jobs that can provide the most financial security instead of jobs that they have a passion for?
I have also read articles regarding Generation Z. As a whole, they are engaging in less risky behavior than other generations before them.
There are factors as well that are continuously discussed in these threads that lead me to believe that over time, America will become more conservative in morals and values. Although, I still believe that American's ideologies will remain more liberal overall.

Not graphic at all. Wise old timer long before I was born... play it.
I stopped at devil. That means I watched 2 seconds of it. I would appreciate if you removed the video. I strongly dislike videos or pictures on threads, especially on my own.

I don't know if that's connected to morals and values though. Young people spend less time interacting with the real world than they used to. Maybe they're more virtual rather than more virtuous.

I don't think it's connected to morals or values either. But it can lead to a trend which would turn into morals and values.
