People live in society with other people. There are many rules in the society. If people keep them, they will live in peace together.
We learn the rules all our life. Our parents teach us many principles. Children pick up moral rules by observing their parents, teachers, and friends. If parents speak rudely, children will imitate them. If parents have only TV dinners, children will not know how to behave at the table.
Ethics is the study of moral. We must difference between good and bad – right/wrong. Children learn what is moral an immoral in families and at schools.
In modern society many children are educated by the media. Movies, reality shows influence them very much. The games and music are often rude and aggressive. Only people who look good and have a lot of money are successful.
