A complete void of moral training: the reason America is disintegrating

[Wolseley]

Slowly, but inexorably, we are slipping back into the dark ages....

Our society is grappling with a disconcerting reality—a reality born out of the convergence of various factors. From the messages embedded in our music to the desensitizing violence prevalent in our culture, and even the erosion of moral and ethical values, each contributes to the emergence of a more violent society.

The breakdown of morality in our society is contributing to this disturbing trend. Traditional values that once served as guiding principles seem to be waning, leaving a moral vacuum in which right and wrong are increasingly ambiguous. The erosion of moral foundations means that young people are less equipped to distinguish between ethical choices and destructive actions.

The deterioration of ethics further compounds the issue. Ethical conduct is the cornerstone of a civilized society, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability. Yet, as we witness these disturbing trends among our youth, it becomes evident that the concept of ethics is losing its grip. The pursuit of personal gain, even at the expense of others, has become alarmingly normalized.

"It’s imperative that our schools become places not only for intellectual growth but also for emotional well-being and character development."

We used to have Sunday School for that but for some reason we decided that wasn't a good idea.

"It’s imperative that our schools become places not only for intellectual growth but also for emotional well-being and character development."

Amen to that. Virtue ethics, character building.

I was listening to a podcast conversation about this, just last night.

Something bad has happened to the hearts of many.
So many now seem to want to go to war, 'eradicate' the enemy ... ending lives without feeling much, if any, conscience about it.
And while 'this group' may be 'the enemy' this week, who is to know who will be the designated 'enemy' next week?
(Are we not all potentially at risk of one day also being declared the 'enemy'?)

... And it is not just the young people, but many kinds of persons, whose hearts now appear to have grown quite cold.

It is alarming, how violent the world has become.
