response for 9/13 class


We are finding that the difference between the teachings to the guardians and the young are significantly different when they become older.
As you become older, like we do, we are exploring and accessing new things in our lives, that our parents have no control of, even if we are taught the rights and wrongs, etc. The aspects of "good" and "evil" are taught by what the parents regulate children are exposed to. As we learn and get older, we are introduced to more difficult concepts and reasoning, such as geometry, etc.

In the hopes of being taught strong morals as a young child, the guardians are supposed to know what is moral.. or "good" or "evil".. because they have gotten used to what they have been introduced to and taught to understand and to keep as the "right" and "proper."

I think the guardians education from the child-stage of ones life is supposed to be as minimalistic as possible.. but with the biggest important pieces that are to be carried out into your adult-hood. And with the small pieces you learn, they help you navigate through the next pieces of your learning into young-adulthood.
