Taboo on National Geographic Channel

I recently watched a few reruns of the show Taboo on National Geographic Channel. It is pretty graphic and not for the faint of heart as it presents extreme cases from several cultures around the globe. Such a show would probably not have aired just a few decades back.

What I like about the show is that it brings out the skeptic in me .. it challenges my values and beliefs .. it makes me question things I take for granted. As babies and children we are born a blank slate and many of the things we know or do are imprinted on us by the environment and people we know.

I believe it is important to constantly question things even those we take for granted. Just like we have to make sure the foundation of a bridge over a river continues to be robust, we need to check our foundation occasionally to make sure that it is not flawed.
