In the past ethics 101 was taught by parents, somewhere along the way they became incapable of raising kids properly. Anyone with proper work ethic will understand that this kid was asking for someone to walk him through or do his question. Not get an idea fleshed out.
I would think it's still a parents job to guide a kid properly in the realm of ethics, maybe we should place more responsibility of the children onto the parents. (mind you this I'm not touching the fact that they really can't prove the kid is who he is, I'm just referring to the ethics aspect.)
- stuaxo 14y agoWhich bit of the past is this, certainly not during the era of the robber baron industrialists ... maybe between now and then - or before then ..?
- tedunangst 14y agoThere have always been unethical people. That doesn't mean ethics has never been taught.
- jeremyarussell 14y agoMy point wasn't about the quality of ethics, but that it's being left to schools and not the, you know, parents. --I suppose since I used the word properly I invited an argument of quality. I did mainly mean to refer to to the who and not the how well though.
- illuminate 14y ago"My point wasn't about the quality of ethics, but that it's being left to schools and not the, you know, parents." Your mistake lies in assuming that parents before were somehow a better source of "ethics" than parents now. History books are always exceedingly kind to prior generations.
- illuminate 14y ago"In the past ethics 101 was taught by parents, somewhere along the way they became incapable of raising kids properly." Appeals to false nostalgia are not evidence for your claims.
