Disturbing News From Harvard University. by Nobody: 8:50am On Aug 03, 2014
What are the views and experiences of the bright young things leaving havard this summer? These will be the movers and shakers in the US society in the years ahead, many of them about to step into influential jobs in business and goverment. Harvard's in-house magazine provides us with the following disturbing statistics:
1) There are 15% of harvard graduates who are gay- the survey also indicates a widespread acceptance of same-sex marriage.
2) Among male students, 48% admitted they watched regular pornography as against 59% of females who said they didn't.

3) For both male and female students social life involved drinking alcohol with 12% of respondents having more than 5 active sexual partners.

4)Among those planning to enter goverment or politics 39% have used marijuana while students.

So guys what do you think? If this is the future of america, is it getting weaker or stronger.

Cirmuell, even though you won't listen let me reply for the sake of those that share the same view with you. Its okay to mind your business but its also intelligent to be aware of the moves of others. Whatever happens to america affects us.

Why is this disturbing? They watch porn and have sex, what's the big deal? Hopefully, they won't carry the infidelities into their adulthood. But worse happens in our universities. Students belong to cults that carry out various illegal activities. Lecturers ask students for enticements so they can pass exams, what kind of message does that pass? The lecturers pressurize students to sleep with them. Teaching the students that nothing good comes without a prize? Laying much emphasis on results rather than knowledge. There's a reason why we keep producing graduates that are overrated secondary school graduates.
This topic is like pointing out the toothpick in somebody's eyes while we have 4 by 6 plank in our own eyes.

Most of us have settled with the current trend of indecency and lack of morals that's why we don't find this survey disturbing.
I personally seem to tolerate a lot of things I see on TV or from people; things that I detested many years ago.
As a fresher, I remember a girl in my university on a hot mini who strutted out feeling cool with herself but was chased back by guys into the hostel. Now those same guys will analyse and compare ukwu and 'oranges'.
Indecency is becoming more and more appealing especially when it's packaged 'gracefully and confidently'.
If we started from where we were to where we are now, then imagine what will become of the next generation.

What's the ethical problem with porn and dressing? Really, I don't see something ethical wrong with those two. Those two acts doesn't affect me or other people much in anyway, so I don't concern myself with it.
The thing is that change is permanent. Our mode of dressing is different from that of our parents' era, and theirs was different from that of their parents. If you don't like the change, there isn't much you can do about it except talk about it, and enjoy nostalgia.

You have a very good understanding of this post. Havard has produced and still produces leaders in the US political sphere,if this statistics is true, then the most powerful nation of the modern world is about to face a decline in quality leadership.

Flexy u are missing the point. I agree with the issues u raised about the hypocrisy with which we approach the sex issue. But the post is meant to show a possible decline in future world leadership. And moreover America is a collective issue, over 50% of international trade is done in dollars , america is one of the countries actively involved in the war against global terrorism.

And havard is a melting pot which has trained countless politicians world wide. If the quality of education in havard drops, quality of world leadership drops.

Re: Disturbing News From Harvard University. by Nobody: 2:20pm On Aug 03, 2014
This is a very funny thread. All these things you have listed are almost synonymous with college education which is seen as the time to express yourself to the fullest and maybe sow your wild oats - Harvard or not. And to be honest with you, Harvard students are not so different from students of other colleges. Of course maybe 5 - 10% are total nerds but that doesn't mean that the average Harvard student doesn't party hard or even engage in debauchery. They are also not as hypocritical as we are
