Ethical issues are not currently taught in a coherent or logical way across different sectors of the Victorian school system. The ethical questions of this time are often those centered on a constitutional right. They affect the majority of citizens, and by studying them, we form our own opinion, as a young generation, preparing ourselves for a fair and just future. These issues include abortion, the one-child policy, gay marriage, euthanasia, and many others. By studying things like these, especially from a young age, more confidence grows in us and saying what we believe to be ethically correct according to our beliefs, traditions and laws of today and of the future day and age will come easily to us. These are the skills that we need to practice from a young age before starting our journey into this world of work. Ethics lessons should be about learning to think. It's specifically about thinking critically and learning how best to act in situations by examining other options. Teach empathy and awareness of situations around students, as well as within the community. It should be considered a priority, something essential to learn before we end our school life and start our own. Teaching ethics will bring out valuable skills that all children/students can benefit from once learned during their youth. Touching on the concepts of rights, law, justice, religion-based morality will achieve the goal of members of this society to consider personal and social issues and choices within an ethical decision-making framework. By building an ethical decision-making framework in students throughout their school life, they will then continue to consider personal and social issues and choose...... middle of paper ... in their time in adolescence, how they will deal with situations that they arise when we arrive at the location of our work, social gatherings or legal situations. The goal of ethics lessons would be for children to open their minds to new ideas about alternative views and how to respect them or accept being different and not their own. This learning space should be one where children can develop their opinions through discussion and exposure to alternative points of view. These life skills would prove useful in teaching children to respect the right of others to have points of view different from our own. As long as ethics courses encourage open discussion, I believe they will only have a positive influence on future generations.
