What is daggering and can we truly define this phenomenon that has crept up on our children here in Jamaica. Daggering from my Jamaican perspective is overtly explicit sexual suggestions through some sort of erotic body movements during this so called dance and somehow has created a culture where the kids( teens, young adults and minors) are engrossed into this new dance style.
My understanding of the word dagger suggests an offensive weapon that is intended to wound, cause a scar or create great damage and even death and somehow that seems to be the intent of this "daggering" dance that is causing the latest salvo of discussion. There are some questions that we must ask. Why was this allowed to reign for so long before action was taken? Was the responce recently due to the fact that the regulators of the media entities had an invasion of daggering in their home? Aren't the obscene music videos with half naked girls girating on cars, poles and whatever they may choose that are seen on national television each week a cause for concern and action?
This society cannot continue to be reactive to issues which face our nation daily. We must be proactive and move to prevent the epidemic rather than run with the vaccine to stop the outbreak after many innocent lives have already fallen victim to the insatiable appetite of the greedy and gluttonous men and women who will stop at nothing to fill their coffers each day with the innocence of our future generation.
