Mary Queen of Scots; Why Are Beliefs so Important?

In the story Mary Queen of Scots, Mary stands by her faith even to her death. This is one of the most noble and couragous thing anyone could ever do. Forgetting the entire argument about which religion is "right" or "wrong", Mary is one of the bravest and strongest people I have heard of. Life is constantly changing and as we look back at older generations we can see how values and morals and the way society thinks has been completely altered. Watching my family over the years I can see that most conflict comes from the younger generations view of life clashing with my parents older generations view of life. I like to my generation, "Generation W" also known as "Generation Whatever". It seems to me that over the years people have gotten lazy with values and what they believe in. It is very easy to make young adults conform and do things they should not be doing and for the most part these things are becoming accepted in society. Things that at one time used to be frowned apon are now taken in and have become a normal part of life. When my older siblings did something they should have been ashamed of or should have learned from, it is like they just said "whatever" and kept doing it over and over again and kept making excuses for why it was okay. Not to say that all of the newer generation is like this but I think things are deffinately heading down this road. It is so refreashing to see teens how have found something they believe in and held onto it to guide them through life. Obviously we all make mistakes but having religion or some kind of moral system in your life that helps you fight to be a better person, such as Mary is very important.
