Ethics: Should Children Be Allowed To Choose Their Own…?


Largely as a result of advertising and disposable income, children are a major determinant of American popular culture. But compare this with ethnic subcultures such as Russian, Indian, or Polish here in the United States. Those groups have long-standing traditions about food, music, clothing, books, etc. which children are not given the choice to reject. In contrast, non-ethnic children in this country pretty much pick their own culture. Is this a healthy thing for a country to allow? What other implications result from this sort of liberty?

Bible References: Deut 5:16, Deut 6:1-9, Prov 22:6, Eph 6:1-4
