Teaching Right from Wrong
Do parents deny the amount of influence society has on our children? Have you ever heard the statement? “Well look at the parents.” It isn’t surprising that children will sort people into groups, and then make decisions on value and certain judgments about them. Of course left to themselves they may see the groups very differently then the ones society see’s as important. Without parents to instruct them how do they know what groups to follow or even how to group them at all. Children have been known to group people by color, what they wear, the language that they speak or even where they live. If a parent is to believe that they will outgrow this on there own that would be a grave mistake. Children need proper guidance and certain skills that should be provided in the home. There are so many different value systems in are society that if a child is left to “figure it out” on his own, it could cause much confusion as well as poor decision making skills. Parents need to be responsible and influence there children to be open minded and loving. If parents spend quality time with ther children, turn off the television, look up from the computer, hell put the damm cell phone down! Perhaps they would be able to see what there children are looking at, and the choices that need to be made. Society has to much influence on children today. Parents be aware!

One alternative theory to the “nature vs. nurture” question suggests that there is a “social gene (or set of genes)” that genetically determine the degree of influence our environment will play in shaping our behavior. This would explain what we empirically see as the variances; from “What did we do wrong?” to “She is her mother’s daughter”.

Education is a major factor in teaching wrong and right to a child, regardless of if it comes from parents or society, but the bottom line in creating a well-adjusted adult is not only spending time with children, it’s taking a genuine interest in thier lives. Children need guidance from adults who really listen to them, not only hear them, but sincerely listen and let them know that what they say and how they feel is truely important. Do most parent’s know the names of their children’s friends in school or what about the name of thier fifth period teacher, oh, and what subject is it? Society gives us guidelines that are directed and instituted by parents at home, but if a child feels that what is going on thier lives has little importantance at home, they are only led to the attitude of; who cares? Nobody else does, so, why should I?
