I think that it would be a better society if people would care for other children. I think that many people don't bother to help because they don't want to be held responsible for anything that happens to them. If you saw a stranger talking to your child, you would not know that they are helping your child. You would act defensive and this might be why people don't help as much.

I think that it is great how people help out in Sweden when someone is hitting a child. If that happened in the United States or in Hawaii then I think people would just ignore it because they wouldn't want to get involved into the problem.

I think this means that we are kind in general but I don't think it is something that we just inherit and do. We continuously adapt from one another by absorbing what we see and copying. The way we live is like the saying, "monkey see, monkey do". When we grow up, we don't know how to do kind acts such as, holding a door open for someone, or helping someone carry in groceries. I believe that many of us do acts of kindness because we are raised that way.

When you are young, you are just learning what is right and wrong. I believe that sometimes kids and adolescents do mischievous things because you know that you can get away with it and no one will find out. You sometimes want to rebel from what you know you should do. That is why, when a teacher tells a student to do something bad, they will not because they only would do it secretively with no guilt.
