Exposing children to a broad set of experiences is paramount with regard to their development on into adulthood to become productive members of society. The focus of a child's development and how they will react to any given mindset is extremely important. It is even more important than any dogma based on fear and insecurity whether that is rooted in religion, societal norms or cultural assignments. If parents allow thier children to remain metaphorical prisoners, they will grow up to continue that destructive cycle. Flexibility is the key to molding children and if we give the ancient philosophers their due, they too, can give modern day civilization a hint as to the appropriate level of teachings and experiences that we as parents, caregivers, and teachers give to our

Most think that we live in a place where we can think on our own and we are encouraged to believe whatever we want. We never think of some obvious things that are just norms in our society.

Social norms come naturally because we have been taught then our whole life and then have been engrained into our heads, just like the alphabet and simple kindergarten skills. Humans can grow up and be conditioned to believe whatever we want them to, it is just a matter of making their brain accustom to a different world or set of beliefs.

My parents have taught me right from wrong in many of ways from not to lie, to treat others like you want to be treated and to respect your elders with respect as well. With these morals and values that my parents taught me, my life will be easier to stay on a straight and narrow path for what is going to happen in the future. My parents have worked all their life to supply and support the family the decided to have and they have instilled that into me for when the time comes when I decide to have a family and I want to support my family like my parents did for me and to make sure they succeed in life like I am. My parents have pushed me to make sure to stay in school and get a degree because back then it wasn’t the “thing” to do. My parents went to some college but ended up getting jobs and starting a life.
