Chapter 12: A modest conclusion


In this conclusive chapter, Shalit emphasizes the fact that we have entered an era characterized by the end of innocence. I do agree with her, today we do not even try to conserve the youngest's innocence. Sexuality is part of every single moment of our lives. The development of media and new communication technologies widely spread sexual messages even toward children. Today, marketers have included in their marketing strategies, especially in visual ads, the concept of selling sexy goods; from food to razors all make allusions to sex. Innocence is no longer a praised value in nowadays socities.

I do not think that this era is necessarily the end of "innocence." While the media may not be so innocent, many people in the world today still are, especially the young people of today. While innocence is not yet gone, modesty is far from here. Many people do not seem to care anymore, but there are people who still do. In my opinion, there are just as many people who do care as there are that don't care.
