Question

I am involved in a debate, and so I have this topic. I think it will be of interest to many of you people out there:

"This house believes that morals cannot be taught in school."

I desperately need some advice on this topic, as in how to argue and what to argue on.

Some advice for you first:

You can propose points on its definition, or the topic itself.
If you can find statistics to prove your idea that would be best!
Also, I don't mind if you can find suitable websites for this as well.

I am for for you people's info

Answer 1

.OK, even though I believe the contrary I'll tell you some arguments that you could use.

1- Morals are formed and taught from each families point of view. It's impossible to teach all the same morals to different kind of people, because different people sees things differently. If you do teach morals, you might create controversy.

2- Religion is sometimes, or mostly applied to morals, and religion is not allowed to be taught.

3- CONGRESS should not pass a law about what is moral. That takes "morals" and puts them into a force procedure -- morals can never be effective when forced onto someone. Children, particularly, will resist forced "morals".

4- In any event it is the PARENT that must teach morals -- not force them, but teach the child that his or her own survival is enhanced when they behave according to a common sense moral code.

5- ACCEPT YOUR PLACE IN LIFE AND BE HAPPY; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UNHAPPY. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ADVANCE, GO FOR IT.

OK, it's important that you also know what the Moral Rules are usually reheard to:

___________________________

CODE OF MORAL VALUES
by Wilson C. Lucom

1. YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER.

2. YOU MUST NOT STEAL.

3. YOU MUST NOT LIE.

4. YOU SHALL NOT TAKE GUNS OR KNIVES TO SCHOOL.

5. YOU MUST NEVER TAKE DRUGS. At your age you do not realize that drugs can scramble your brain and ruin your life. Don't start taking drugs.

6. YOU MUST RESPECT AND HONOR YOUR PARENTS. Unless they physically abuse you.

7. YOU MUST NOT HATE. You can disagree with someone but do not hate him.

8. YOU MUST NOT BE JEALOUS. Jealously creates much personal unhappiness.

9. YOU MUST NOT BE A RACIST OR BIGOT. Do not judge people by the color of their skin. Respect them for what they are, not what they look like. Respect religions other than yours.

10. OBEY THE GOLDEN RULE. Do to others as you would want them to do to you.

11. NEVER USE ALCOHOL UNTIL YOU ARE AN ADULT. Then use it only in moderation so you do not get drunk. Drunkenness can ruin your marriage and life.

12. ONLY GAMBLE THE AMOUNT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, NO MORE. Otherwise, you will lose your marriage, your home, everything you own if you are a compulsive gambler.

13. OBEY THE LAW. If you do not like the law, request your congressman to change it; but obey the law until it is changed.

14. ACCEPT YOUR PLACE IN LIFE AND BE HAPPY; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UNHAPPY. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ADVANCE, GO FOR IT.

15. IF YOU ACCEPT THIS MORAL VALUE CODE, YOU WILL EARN MORE MONEY, NOT GO TO JAIL, AND HAVE A HAPPIER LIFE.
