Just a few quick words on the subject:
1. We have to distinguish between Education and Information. Most of the times in schools and colleges we get information, not education. 2. What we define as morality is, in fact, priorities-things that society thinks should be part of an ideal character. 3. The purpose of education is to create conformity to these priorities. 4. Failure to create this conformity is because of various reasons: (I) Linking morality with religion makes one who denies religion, deny morality as well. (II) Formal education being only one part of the whole process of sociolization, other factors e.g. environment and personal experiences overwhelm or dominate the effect of Formal Education. (III)Violation of social norms (usually called "evil") is not always voluntary. Some people do it because they have to. (IV) Sometimes a person might doubt the whole idea of morality considering, instead, some other values more useful for the society or for anything else he considers more important than it. Personal priorities in this case are pitted against the the priorities of the society. (V) Sometimes a person believes in the values of the society and still violates them, the easiest interpretation for such actions is to say that such people are "weak", who, yielding to every little temptation stop acting in accordance with their beliefs. (VI)Lastly there are the non-compliants who do evil simply because of, perhaps, a fascination for evil. |
