Indecent language in the media must be avoided – MCE

Ms Charlotte Odoom, the Metropolitan Chief Executive for the Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, has said the recent spate of vulgar and indecent language in the media was an affront to the cultural heritage of the country.

She said the idea of seeing ourselves as one people from a common or unified background calls for a consented action to remove unacceptable behavioral patterns.

Ms Odoom was speaking at the Zonal Cultural Competition organized by the Ghana Education Services to promote good values among the youths of Takoradi in the Western Region.

The cultural competition brought together five schools within the Zone; Shama, Mpohor, Wassa East, Sekondi/Takoradi and Ahanta West to compete in the area of drama, drum language, poetry, choral and sight singing.

The MCE said the Ghanaian society showed great respect and adored the elderly as well as traditional hospitality.

Ms Odoom said good family upbringing characterized by good social values and virtues are qualities of acceptable hallmarks which families bequeath the younger generation.

The MCE said the time had come for the country to develop on the traditional ways of doing things adding that our culture should be strong in demystifying issues that can be explained scientifically.

Mr Franklin Dzigbede, the Metropolitan Director of Education, urged the youth to adopt positive values that could advance their cause of development.

He said the country’s culture should also be told the younger generation to spur up the zeal for hard work, dedication and commitment to duty.
