SHORT COMMUNICATION 325
A Classic Example
By

No one can deny that
America’s culture is now chest deep in evil behavior. Evil behavior has significally
increased since the year 2000 began. Now, the counterculture philosophy is cruising
along at a very clear and fast pace.
This is bad enough,
but is adding insult to injury is the averted eyes syndrome, which is the fact
that people know and see evil in progress, but they simply look the other way
and say and do nothing. That is a classic trait of counterculture people. They
have thrown out good core values and brought own evil values.
Penn State
University is now paying a very stiff price for exercising the averted eyes
syndrome in the form of child sexual abuse. It has led to several officials at
the university being fired and severely damaging the legacy of their famous
football coach, Joe Paterno, who soon died after everything, was brought to
light.
What is going on in
the American culture is this: If criminal or immoral activity is going on and
it does not directly effect the knowledgeable persons, family, or friends, they
all look the other way. Here is a classic example.
An elementary school
in Los Angeles, California, got into serious trouble. Considerable
inappropriate child abuse was going on for a great many years. It was kept
quiet among the faculty members as a classic example of the averted eyes
syndrome. At least two faculty members got into serious trouble, and the whole
faculty was disbanded and replaced. The child abuse was blatant. One teacher’s
bail was set at $23,000,000 million dollars: one million dollars for each year
of the abuse.
In the New York City
a woman was being raped in the doorway of a closed business. It was a dark knight
but the rape was visible because of the lights at night effect. Several people
walked by and saw what was going on, but they looked the other way. Thankfully,
a police cruiser was passing by, saw what was happening, and the rapist was
arrested.
Many people look the
other way because they might end up in legal trouble through no fault of their
own. Time from work can be lost when they have to testify in court as to what
they saw going one. One can accurately say the word syndrome can be changed to
dilemma in a small number of cases. In most cases when inappropriate or
criminal behavior is going on, the averted eyes syndrome is the very accurate conclusion.
And that is what going on to a very large degree. It is a very sad situation to
say the least.
