Subject: Morality and Religion

I found it interesting to see the chart on page 258 in the book showing a shift in the life goals of college students. It showed that nowadays, it is a more important goal for adults to be very well off financially than develop a meaningful philosophy of life. I'm assuming that many adolescent's feel the same way. Because of society's emphasis on materialism, each generation is focusing less on finding deeper meaning to their lives. I imagine it's difficult to teach morality to students or influence them in their search to find meaning in their lives because those issues are often related to religious beliefs or individual opinion. While there are basic moral standards you can instill in students, there are gray areas that make teaching morality very complicated.
