If you expose yourself to certain things, it WILL change. Your opinions do change and your values do change. Now, for christians, we are to keep ourselves from "corruption".. But how many of you take this literally and avoid, rather than expose and reason out of partaking in it?
The practical dilemma for especially young christians --who haven't fully developed the rationales for moral behavior--may not be able to have good control over psychologically adjusting and readjusting and MONITORING the effects of outside influence on the mind.

The mind does not have to be affected by the environment we share. We have control over our minds, and it is unfortunate that so many are corrupted by material things, by the media, by the government, by their own problems, by society, etc. We do have the ability to rise above our surroundings. We can also avoid being exposed to certain things, such as 95% of the garbage in the media, and on television.,

Yes... does it not say somewhere in the Bible to trust in the Lord more than you would your own mind; or something to that effect?
However, I think it is equally important to not be too serious and to realize that we're all sinners and are gonna sin regardless of how hard we monitor. We can be joyful knowing the Jesus died for us and in accepting that, we relax and enjoy all the blessings we've been given.

Humans are constantly fed hasty generalizations and usually not-so truthful facts throughout their entire lives. We're conditioned to lazily refer to one group as having the same believes and forget that individuals compromise groups, and that groups don't determine the individual's identities.
