How do you teach civility and compassion to young people?

IN my day it was done by scaring the hell out of us in various ways. However, now in the U.S. this sometimes is considered cruel and inhuman by society.

However, what people are doing now just isn't working. It might work to make people docile and slave like but it DOES NOT create Self AWARE people who are "Captain's of their own ships and masters of their own destiny".

So, my experience is most people today act sort of like Slaves no matter what race they are in in the U.S. if they are under around 40 to 50 years of age.

This is a part of the new social types of training given to people since the 1960s and 1970s.

And I think we all have to admit it doesn't work.
I suppose if you want everyone to be slaves and not to question authority ever I suppose you could say this is successful.

But, to me, as someone raised in the 1950s it is horrific beyond belief to watch people become slaves with no rights in whatever jobs they wind up in.

So, it is not surprising to me at all (having been raised in the 1950s that people go off and shoot their employers eventually because of this) because people tend to be treated like slaves without rights.

My solution and the solution of most members of my family was always to start our own businesses so we could control when we worked, where we worked, how we worked and this always increased the quality of our work by 500% to 1000% because we were never slaves and WERE always "Masters of owr own ships and  controllers of our own destiny.

When you can actually personally benefit from running your own businesses your quality of work either goes up 1000% or you are soon out of business.

So, if you are going to be running a business just remember how incredibly focused you have to be to stay in business long term.

At 4 years of age I already had to be emotionally an adult. At 5 years of age I was given a large bicycle and rode miles away from home with friends. Was this dangerous? Sometimes it was but we were more aware and adult like as children then. Staying alive wasn't as assured then as now in most children's minds then. We knew people might kill us or beat us up almost any day then.

We just accepted this as something that was normal in life.

Being traumatized and friends dying of polio or whooping cough or flying through the front window of their parents car without seat belts was a pretty normal occurance. I saw a lot of death or near death situations even when I was 3 or 4 years of age whether this was humans or animals being killeby accident or injuries.

Staying alive for everyone was much much less sure for all of us then so we all took it in stride or we self destructed. So, childhood often ended by 3 or 4 years of age like mine did.So, by age 3 or 4 I knew I likely was going to die as a soldier in some foreign country. Was I happy about this? NO! But, I accepted it because this was the way life really was then in the 1950s. This is why so many of my generation easily went to the Viet Nam War and just died there the first week they were there at age 18 after being drafted against their wills right out of high school. They didn't know anything in high school and so they soon often died for their ignorance of life at 18.
