Lust: That's a Sin, Remember?

I've been racking my brain the past few days trying to come up with a topic for our next assignment. I understand what and how we're supposed to write, I just can't think of a good topic. However, I think I might have found something.

I've always been intrigued by Donte's The Inferno and the Seven Deadly Sins and things like that. I believe that the sin of lust could be incredibly controversial, especially when viewed from different time periods, cultures, and moral standings.

I like this first picture a lot because it includes a kind of definition of the sin. I understand what lust is, but not very well, so this was helpful to me. However, I don't believe I'll use this picture for my paper. I'm going to continue searching and find a better, maybe more realistic one.

Anyways, back to the paper. I know this may seem like kind of a sketchy topic, but really, it works very well for what we need to do. Lust has always been a sin, and is adressed in religions such as Christianity. Fifty years ago or so, it was completely unheard of to even think about sexual things with someone who was not your husband or wife, and to do so would ruin your reputation and your family's. Today, however, it doesn't seem like a big deal at all. In fact, it's almost a trend. Look at all of the shows on TV. Name one that doesn't involve random people hooking up or a couple sleeping together after just a few dates. It's hard to do isn't it? It's almost as if today's culture is promoting this kind of behavior when, in actuality, it's a sin and morally wrong.

What do you guys think? Do you agree?
