Hatred is certainly better organised - we can thank social media for that one. — Tom Storm
And if Confucius and Chinese philosophy have failed to promote ethical behavior in China, why should we expect them to do so in the West? — Apollodorus
I think we need to look principally to the present problem and future solutions more than picking a past philosophy though. — Kenosha Kid
We need to understand what makes people antisocial. — Kenosha Kid
We have to develop a better educational system and teach how bad the violence is. — javi2541997
We should never forget these old theories — javi2541997
Probably but being antisocial not necessarily drive us on being violent or having aggressive attitude. To be honest with you, I consider myself as antisocial but this doesn’t cause on me have the feeling or ambition to fight against another one or being involved in a riot... — javi2541997
Why would you assume children do not already know? — Isaac
Agreed, but that's no reason to indoctrinate children with them. (There may be better reasons to do just that.) — Kenosha Kid
children tend to be innocent in these issues and complex aspects. Sometimes they are linving/making violence when they don't truly know what they are doing.
There are cases where children live domestic violence but they don't get the situation until they become older. — javi2541997
Is a lack of Taoism in this kid's life really the thing pushing him toward following a similar path to his father, brother and neighbours? — Kenosha Kid
We have to develop a better educational system and teach how bad the violence is. I feel we are living in an Era where people literally do not care about harm others. For this reason, it is time to focus on Ethics and provide more empathy along our relationships. — javi2541997
Yes, I guess it is positive to teach them what violence is without taboos. — javi2541997
So if we take this from the roots we can avoid conflict situations in the future. — javi2541997
It is not the right way when we see a kid suffering of domestic violence and then say the usual: "let's put him in a psychologist" — javi2541997
As long as we live in a capitalist society, the above is a lost cause. — baker
It is not lost if we believe in it. Probably in a capitalist Era is difficult but we can work together and establish some moral and ethical principles. — javi2541997
I can't see how you think children don't know what violence is. — Isaac
you seem to be promoting the rather heterodox theory that it's the former not the latter that's the problem. — Isaac
Why should children not get psychological help? — Isaac
But on the grounds of what? — baker
First of all, I think this child has bad luck because he is raised in a very backwards house. We have to do something with this kid because is our duty. — javi2541997
Exposure to more considered ideas is helpful, but considered ideas often don't have the same kind of influence on children that deranged, paranoid, hateful ideas to. — Kenosha Kid
Point being, hateful and violent behaviour is typically associated with irrational notions that are immune to reason, empirical counter-evidence, etc. — Kenosha Kid
They can know it but in a very simple way... It is not the same when you are more mature and can understand it more deeply. — javi2541997
So what do you think is the solution to this and why I am seeing it bad? — javi2541997
The ethics class should be prepared as a gift. — javi2541997
