if you do not teach your children virtues they can live by they will fall for anything.Society does not shape us ,we shape society its two way.Society is the way it is because we have let it be that way.
MEN shape sosiety. Society shapes MAN. Debatable and interesting. The society will shape the small kids more than the other way round. That Im certain.
Simon,clearly the point i was trying to make is lost on you.These men who shape society do they have parents?if the parents had shown them different do you think they would have turned out the way they are right now?
I am yet to meet a murderer who blames society for his crimes.Parents have abdicated their roles to be examples and the sooner they realize this the better for society.
Parents have a responsibility to show their children that tolerating different views and opinions is what makes the world such an interesting place to live in.Blaming society for the way our children turn out is hogwash.
Jesus put it very well when he asked us to be like little children.Children forgive so easily and they are not hung on differences like adults are,its a pity parents pass on their prejudices to these beautiful souls.If we all emulated them(children) am sure the world would be such a different place today.
