Social Morality of Young People in England and Wales
Abstract
Five factors or agencies leading to the formation of social or
personal morality in young people are identified. These are
churches, schools, families, communities and the similar impacts
of militarisation and industrialisation. The influence of these agencies
or factors are surveyed in relation to Britain in the 19th and
20th centuries. There is a discernible weakening of each influence
apart from that of schools but, even here, the government’s main
concern is not with moral education.
