was reading that kids today are getting their values from their PEERS, because the world and culture and traditions and especially FAMILIES are in such CHAOS...
and I can kind of see that now...
it is a mish mash of values... when I grew up, everyone got their values from their parents and their churches... but everyone had 2 parents and went to church...
I think I broke away by going to college and reading and being influenced by peers
much later in life...
I don't know how different it is today... do kids become set in their thinking at a younger age... has TV and the INTERNET changed things...
maybe kids get influenced at the same age today, but just less by family and college...
the family and cultural traditions and lifestyles and physical living conditions seem so different...
yet, I'm not comfortable deciding where people get their world view... where people get their moral compass... where and how behavior and beliefs are formed...
my fear is that we are in less intellectual times... and is the blame to be placed on affluence or technology or what???
in a sense, culture has always been transmitted by the environment of the individual... if so, then as the environment changes, so would the transmission...
