When a social issue arises, society tends to have conflicting perspectives surrounding it. As students, we are educated based on the morality that comprises our respective schools. A common viewpoint would argue that schools, whether public or private, have a prominent impact upon a student’s attitude towards a social dilemma. Although this is true to an extent, family principles are primarily what influence a student’s stance upon a social conflict.

School is an educational institution that is entirely designated to enrich student’s knowledge of a specific aspect of curriculum that the student is enrolled in. This does not limit the school to impact students’ ethics upon a social issue. However, even if they do have an impact, it would be minute. This was never the duty of the school anyways as it rests upon the student’s’ respective parents to educate their own children based upon the principles that they had been taught with.

Different schools won’t necessarily share the same principles. If it were to have any impact on the student, they will have to readjust to conflicting values that different schools have, which will erase any previous outlook that the student has based on the previous school’s influence. Ethics shared amongst the family influences a student the most as it maintains its continuous conditioning over the years ever since birth. They are taught to justify a social issue based on the values that they have been taught by their parents since birth.
