An increase in profanity (foul language) is indicative of a decline in society's morals.

Affirmative:

It is significantly visible of the increased use of profanity in today's culture in contrast to even twenty years ago when censorship was heavily enforced. All sides have been pushing the envelope trying to bring more profanity into the picture, and it has worked. The current generation embrace this, conforming to what media provide them and slowly exposing themselves more to increasingly greater offensive material as it becomes "ok to do so." As more is becoming uncensored today's culture is becoming negatively impacted by this decline in society's morals. It is clear that any increase in profane language or activities is not beneficial to society in anyway, and it should not be as exposed as much as it is to today's culture. Why in any case would we feel a need to: swear more, see more, etc. None of these are a logical reason to keep pushing forward and raising the bar at which we have drawn the line of what is acceptable and what is not. I don't feel that it is healthy that society feels a need to further expose themselves to more and more profane material. Why would there be a need as soon as society begins becomes more civilized, war begins to slow down, more peace is apparent, and then many choose to expose themselves to profane content for seemingly unknown reasons? There has been no proven explanation for this behavior but it isn't something everyone should tolerate as it is clearly not something that helps society in the slightest, and never will given any circumstance.

Negative:

There are plenty of reasons why society should allow it self to go more acquainted to this type of profane material. Since the early times all societies have loosened up old traditions and introduced new ones, it is we as a race grow and learn to accept one another instead of dwelling on rules made hundreds of years ago that don't have the same impact then as they do today. As more profane material becomes acceptable it will lessen the hate in society as ways to offend each other become less applicable. As a society we should be allowed to grow and cherish what we have and not hide and refute it; much of this growth regarding profane material and its natural link to change in society is that new generations (People born generally three to four years apart depending on the age of which you actually reflect when your generation is, as generations increase in age as people grow older.) are the ones that demand change, and are uncomfortable under the rule of a previous generation, this of course leaves older generations feeling uneasy with the change, and thus is why this sort of topic is raised. This is something that wasn't as apparent hundreds of years ago but was still existent, but now days this change is what is shaping society and it isn't something that should be feared but cherished. Today's culture demands change, and it will occur without select few if they choose to stay behind while others move forward.
