Posted by Sara on Monday, September 14, 2009 at 8:40pm. The puritans had a long-lasting effect on english society and , to some extent , our own. with someone, brainstorm aspects of society today that seem "puritan" in origin. please help. i know that puritans were a very large and powerful group among the dissenting protestants. Socials - Ms. Sue, Monday, September 14, 2009 at 8:46pm The modern legacies of the Puritans are those people who believe that * young people's clothing is immodest * sex outside of marriage is immoral * today's music is evil * even mild swear words are wrong I'm sure you and your friends can think of other examples of modern Puritanism. Socials - Sara, Monday, September 14, 2009 at 8:57pm -clothing -church services -drinking -gambling -theatre -music -mild swear words I don't know if this is right, please help.

  But you didn't explain how your list is an example of modern Puritanism. Your question asks for aspects of society -- not just a list of nouns.

  -clothing, because back then the clothing were usually worn in dark colours and and were supposed to be covering everything -church services, because back then they were simple and plain, but now they're not -drinking, because back then people used to drink alot mostly the poor because of their lackness to buy the good food, but now people are just drinking casually -gambling, because back then there used to be a lot of gambling which caused alot of troubles -music, because back then the music was religiouus type but now its full of swear words -mild swear words because back then you weren't allowed to utter a single swaer word but now people swear all the time is this right please help, I have tried and tried
