Half a century behind

After frying my fat cells in my cranium with five 13-episode seasons of Mad Men, the only deduction I can make is that what they are showing in the series is what is happening in 50 years later in Malaysia. In other words, some a sociological viewpoint, we are 50 years behind them, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a spontaneous evolution of any society where one seeming more 'advanced' society set a precedence and a yardstick for any younger ones to follow suit. In order to how what is in store for our future generation, see 'The new Beverly Hills 90210'!
Revolutionary changes happening over the 5 seasons were ladies creeping into decision making posts not mere making coffee and cleaning up, interracial unions, ladies smoking and drinking freely, extra marital and premarital flings with no qualms about its guilt and the effort of psychological disturbances in daily lives.
Gone is the era where people were more conformist to the norms set by the majority. Fundamentals held close to everyone's heart is sacrosanct no more. There are questioned. Abstract answers based on folklore and hearsay would not suffice to quench the thirst to explain and understand every non tangible subject with an objective answer. Blind acceptance is passé. The frustrated older generation who try to impart their long long learnt experience in lessons of life falls on deaf ears, not without an earful of explicits. Times are a'changing!
