Response to Jenna's Question

This is an answer to Jenna's question about "kill thrill" and wether or not it is occuring because of what kids are taught these days.

I think that this is an interesting question, because the biggest problem on the table in this argument is the statement that children should know better because of what they are taught. I think that since you mentioned it I have been wondering why there isn't a basic "morals" kind of class for kids who are young. Then the thought that came into my mind is that it is probably because up until recently in our history, it was just expected that you learned morals from your family... but I think that this is an ideal that is dying away quickly.

So my thought for the answer of this would be that those kids who are involved in "kill thrill" are probably not getting their expected dose of morality while at the family dinner table, because half the time they probably don't have a full family at the dinner table to begin with. Perhaps the best solution would be to teach basic levels of morality through public school... but I feel like this would end in controversy; what are your thoughts?
