Is the Family the Most Important Institution to Teach Right From Wrong?
Yes: Parents in Prison • Half of all juveniles in custody have a father, mother or other close relative who has been in jail or prison, said Allen J. Beck, chief of corrections statistics at the bureau. • About 40 percent of the 1.8 million adults in jail and prison have a parent, brother or sister behind bars. http://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/07/us/parents-prison-special-report-inmate-population-grows-so-does-focus-children.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm
Yes: Toddlers in Tiaras http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmE22hEbVo4
No: Ted Bundy • Brutally murdered 36+ women
NoTed Bundy: Family • Ted:And that’s part of the tragedy of this whole situation. I grew up in a wonderful home with two dedicated and loving parents, as one of 5 brothers and sisters. We, as children, were the focus of my parent’s lives. We regularly attended church. My parents did not drink or smoke or gamble. There was no physical abuse or fighting in the home. I’m not saying it was “Leave it to Beaver”, but it was a fine, solid Christian home. I hope no one will try to take the easy way out of this and accuse my family of contributing to this. I know, and I’m trying to tell you as honestly as I know how, what happened.
Nature vs. Nurture • Are we born good/evil? • Or are we taught to be good/evil? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRvVFW85IcU If we need to be taught, whose job is it?
