Most people do have a sense of morals. Having said that, there are those whose moral fiber has been eaten away and is now depleted. This is clearly evident both online and offline. The best place to have moral values established is in the family. It starts in the home and should begin at an early age. Maintaining one's morals, good character and ethics is key.
Life can present many opportunities and challenges. All of the addictions, distractions, attractions and temptations that can throw us off course. We need a moral compass to guide us not just as children but throughout our life span. It is good to get to know your limits in life. Children need a strong moral rock to stand on. Getting to know yourself in relation to God can be quite beneficial. If kids can learn who God says they are, it will open up a whole new world for them. Galatians 5:22 tells us that "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such there is no law".
Thirdly coursework in school can help instill morals in us. This shouldn't be a business ethics course or a philosophy course in the later school years but should start even at an early age.
Finally, morals is up to the individual. Peer pressure and other negative influences can have an impact on children. Therefore, hopefully, children would be fortunate enough to surround themselves with other children who are good natured and have the seeds of good moral character planted within them.
