In this article, we can see that some British parents were relaxed for their children experiment with drugs, alcohol and sex. Some sociology studies like surveys revealed that some parents were happy for their children experiment with these things because they hope to give their kids the freedoms they did not have.
Some studies also revealed that “One-third of parents – rising to half of those in London – said they were happy for their children to experiment with cannabis. A similar proportion admitted they were relaxed about all drug-taking, regarding it as an inevitable part of growing up.” These results revealed that parents are in other world...a new world.
A professor of sociology at the University of Kent said: "Parents understand that society has changed and that it is not the end of the world if their teenager experiments with alcohol or has sex”. In this context, we can see an important change in mind of our society, and it is an important matter to sociologist and social anthropologist, because some social and cultural factors are to influence in this changes and they are important to make parents with “open-mind”
Other thing important in this article is the opinion about the homosexuality, because this study revealed that some mothers would have no problem if their child was gay. In spite of this, homosexuality is a problem to many British parents.
The study revealed too that statistics about fathers and mothers opinion are different. We can say that the mother opinion and the father opinion, are different about drugs, alcohol and sex, but it isn’t a problem to say that our society was changed.
