I have little interaction with the campus “Hookup Culture”. I
don’t participate in such a lifestyle, and I’m don't see it in the lives of my
friends. I also don't believe that such a culture is on the rise for this
generation compared to those of the past.
Modern day youth have more freedom to do as they please due to a more
liberal society. If Mr. Monto feels that
there isn’t a new version of the “Hookup Culture” on college campuses, then I’m
willing to agree with him because I feel that it’s most likely has the same
meaning today as it did a few decades ago. I’m not a primary witness to the
“hookup culture” therefore, should there be a change to it, I’m not sure I’d
try to notice it.
I find it to be
unfortunate that Mr. Monto feels “the hookup discussion conveys a sense of
moral panic;” I believe that the morals of young adults are shaped by the
societies in which they are raised. Therefore, how they live their lives on
campus is to some degree a reflection of what they see in the world around
them. The “hookup culture” should be studied in the world outside the
campus and then compared to the campus life. There might be some similarities
in how different generations form relationships based on the conduct of the
societies they live in.
I don’t agree with
Mr. Monto’s statement that “fewer students today are dating.” Personally, I
feel like too many students are dating. I also hear of more people who are
college-aged getting married. I think I’d say that most young people don’t want
to stay in long relationships.
