Values- Old School Versus Everyone gets a trophy
#1
NFL Dad Sends Powerful Message by Confiscating Kids’ ‘Trophies for Nothing’


Quote:Controversy around the idea of kids receiving trophies simply for participating in athletics or other activities has been roiling among parents for a while. Last year, a poll conducted by Reason magazine found opinions on participation trophies were split — with a majority of Americans, 57 percent, saying only the winners should get trophies. When results were broken down by age, however, it became clear that younger Americans (those between 18 and 24) believed all kids should be rewarded, inspiring a Washington Post article to dub that age group the “participation-trophy generation.”


Well.. It is a discussion everyone needs to have 

A value laden conversation avoiding the pitfalls of gotcha questions

In fact, this conversation is at the centerpiece of the story I am writing..

In several example already written

-Abigail let her dog get out and get badly injured

Andros made her put the dog down.. Then made her dig the whole all by herself and cover the dog back up

-Regina's policy on her kids love life

They boys will stay out of meddling in your love life and little hellion you stay out of theirs

*** please note this include the issue of Andros's Relationship with Regina and how her son responds to it

-Use of corporal discipline in the future Navy

Time no longer wasted with minor NJPs an PC bs.. watched and monitored by intelligence to prevent bloody bullies

-andros leaving sailors in the water 

Delivery and protection of two living dead to prevent the spread of the infection

-Andros's relationship with Austin

A mess- life is not fair and even after miracles, you have deal with your issues


Their are hundreds of others examples in fiction and real life..

So what do you think?

I leave this with a tale of two individuals with criminal records.. Take a wild guess which one is not in jail right now

a) having issues with the law still
Blamed aunt for situation that got him in there
then blamed girlfriend for leaving him and screwing him over
Opinion is he is getting screwed by the system, and is not at fault

b)brother is in jail, and still having issues with the law
trying to be a rap star
working way up in several  fast food
Opinion, he is responsible for everything that has and will happen to him.. No excuses

Both have just about the same habits
guess which ones moral center and values have kept him freed

Keep in mind I told both about the other
