From Bill O’Reilly’s Culture Wars: There is a new study by the Josephsen Institute out of LA ….
- 42% high school kids lie to save money.
- 64% cheat on tests
- 93% say they are fine with it, they do not see a problem. They are feel that they are better than everyone else is
So …. is bad behavior justifying more bad behavior? Is our culture worse, or are the kids worse? Do our up-and-coming youth know no boundaries?
Bill O said that kids know lying and cheating is wrong. Companies engage in unethical and reckless behaviors – Doesn’t that point to bad behavior? Does that give our youth permission to lie and cheat?
Do we have a built in conscience – do the kids care it’s wrong? If authority figures don’t tell you any differently, will they hold you accountable and does it glorify criminality?
What are we telling our XYZ generation about ethics, financial responsibility and personal accountability?
It’s not what they said, it’s what we think we heard
