Children's Awareness of Morality of Today

Today in class we went over the different levels of comprehension on the laws and rules to ones’ behavior. We spoke about many adolescents and the problems that they face today. My partner and I came to a conclusion that it is the technology that has such an impact on everything that they do. Kids today are easily influenced by media. They see adds on television and in magazines on the “cool” thing to do. There are adds on people cheating, teen dramas, and all kinds of disorders that deal with teens.
Our job as a teacher of high school students is to try to help this situation to the best we can. Students are not prone to cheating. It is rare when you find a student that does not know how to cheat to get through a big exam. Like one fellow classmate stated “when we get the high school kids, it is like leaving spilled water on the floor for 16 years. It is very difficult to clean up.” I agree with Mike on this situation. I feel that it is very difficult to help someone that has been doing this for so long. I also feel that parenting has the most influence over a child.
Just like the phrase “Monkey see what monkey do”, children see what their parents do and the mimic it. All parents need to set a good role model and watch and monitor their children closely. This is will help the problem of our students be extremely shade and sneaky. If they feel that they are being watched, they will work harder to make sure they are careful of what they say in front of adults.
